welcome. theres a mix of all kinda s10 people here. even a few SFA guys also

 

We have the same lift , I just finished putting the axles under it today . I still have to hook up the shocks and run the rear brake lines on the axle . You went with a better axle than me though , I decided to go with dana 30s out of a jeep wrangler with 4 inch super flex springs , I already wish I went with the 44s . I'm going to be installing the 35x 14.5 super swamper thornebirds this Thursday , Awesome build by the way . I have my hole build on this sight , I took pictures of everything .

 

I think I was looking through your build earlier and I liked it, I would of went with a d30 up front but I know I'm going to give it hell off road so I needed an axle that would Definatly take the beating. One thing I'm having issues with is I have people telling me the 4.3 computer will run the 350 as long as I change out the ECM on the distributer, then I have another half telling me just to switch the ECM out for a 350's.. I'm very confused about it

 

just run the v8 distributor so that wouldnt be an issue. I would guess theyre talking about swapping the v6 prom with the v8 prom inside the pcm. if you have the v8 pcm, just swap it in. if not you would probably need to send the 4.3 prom away to get reflashed to 5.7 prom. This is just stuff i recall reading when i was researching my swap. none of this applied to me, so i didnt read to much into it.
