update:

been busy all weekend, but i got a little time to work on Mia.

finally got the cab lifted and the engine and tranny out.





now I have to try and clean all this up





I'm going to redo the notch and engine mounts. I don't like these at all.











cleaned up the timing chain cover, this thing was a whore. but I like how it turned out. and its going to be the hardest one to clean up.





I picked up a set of stripes this weekend





so now after I did all my work and progress i'm going to have me some of this.





tomorrow I'll be pulling the pan on the tranny, cleaning and repainting the new block, and whatever else I get around too. the valve covers should be shaved and brushed this coming week sometime.

Update!
so the headers are finally getting coated and will be here in a few weeks. Later then I wanted but I think it was worth it. I ordered the long tubes but i'll post a pic of the Mids in case anyone else is interested.





A place called brp hotrods is making them, I don't think they are a sponser so pm me if you want details and contact info. they will be available in 2 weeks and will be coated. they also made 2in primaries for anyone making a drag only truck. they were designed on the old body style but i will be testing them on mine to see how they fit on the new body style s-10. oh and they fit with the stock ac system.

on to my other small updates, I notched for ac and tore her down a little farther, I'm done with the valve covers except for painting the stripes to match the engine block. I
ground off the old engine mounts, the guy put them on very well, too bad they aren't what I needed. I''ll be plating in the notch, fixing the oil pan notch, fixing my ac box and hopefully painting the firewall this week.






I still need to clear them and the rest of the covers, but I am happy with the way they came out. i'm ordering my gaskets head bolts and everything else I need to finish putting the engine togather, if anyone has a hookup at a tucson az dealer shoot me a pm. if not i'll be waiting a week till everything is shipped to me.
