[QUOTE="ain'tstuckjustresting, post: 1369624, member: 18302"] [b]***Update as of 7-10-10***[/b] It was hot as fawk in the shop so I pulled the doors off the truck to stay a little cooler while starting on the wiring. Got my new rad from Extremeradiators.com mounted. I was a little pissed it was the same size as a 22re rad and smaller then the 3.0 rad I pulled out. But at least the inlet/outlets are in the correct spots. Installed factory hoses from a 95' blazer. Fit like a glove. I wish I would have set the engine back a little more. I only have 3.5" for a fan. I ordered a 17" fan from Summit last night that should fit. The vacuum and heater hoses are all hooked up as well as the throttle and TV cables. The TV cable wouldn't work on the new style throttle so I made a little link for it. The adjustment seems ok and it moves freely so I don't see why it won't work. I used the 3.0 throttle cable and modified the 3.0 bracket to bolt to the 4.3 intake since the mount was missing. I got the starter, alt, coil, fuel pump relay, intake tuning relay, ECM and such wired in. Now just need to tie the Toy gauge cluster into the Cheby wiring. Installed the Blazer fuel pump in the Toyota factory mount inside the tank with very little modification. That was very nice! The GM fuel fittings on the back of the intake are giving me a bit of a headache though. I'm not sure I have that figured out yet. Powersteering was cake! used stock gm line, cut the end off, installed old toyota fitting and reflared. Piece of cake and looks factory. The tranny came with a deep sump pan but the front driveline is a little close for comfort so Thanks to Jeffroadams for the factory pan to help solve that issue. Exhaust is gonna be tight.
