953 nut 67,989 #401 Posted 6 hours ago My '47 Dodge with a 350 Chevy V8 had mechanical throttle linkage. Pulling out of a restaurant parking lot I hit the gas pedal, left motor mount broke, engine twisted to the right locking the throttle linkage wide open, I hit the brakes avoiding hitting another car while the rear tires were pouring out smoke. When I turned the key off there were a few people on the sidewalk applauding and not a police car in sight. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 70,962 #403 Posted 2 hours ago For future Google reference. S10 V8 Hydroboost conversion Astro van Silverado k2500 struggle is real. They say you can use a Safari or Astro van to convert an S10 to hydroboost. I figured the one out of my 2000 K2500 parts truck would be just fine. Not just fine, but doable. I heavily modified the stock V8 v belt power steering bracket and also heated and manipulated one of the return tubes on the late model reservoir. The stock brake master cylinder could not be used either, it did not fit the 3/4 ton booster. We pulled an oil cooler off the wall in the shop, it was literally part of my shop deco. It’s mounted to the core support and we need cooling hoses hooked up to it. Otherwise, it’s nearing time to fire it up! Rylee has been very involved in this project, can’t you see how much fun @Lil’ Pullstart is having? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
