> [@95dime](#): > > unfortuneatly, the 8.5 never came with a 3.08 gear and wasent in the s10’s until 95. so if the one in the 98 looks like the 94, its probably just a 7.625. also, if that 98 was a 4cyl then it has the zq8 suspension package only, not an ss. and swap the steering boxes. the zq8 has a quick ratio like the camaro’s. and apparently the zq8 package can handle .84 g’s. but even with the 7.625, i dont see any problems with it holding up to your build. hey, you have the dash out of the 94 with the glove box. you tell me what it has. lol ---

IT RUNS (now would be a good time for someone to tell me the code to make it play in the post) I need to put the one relay on a switched ground still. thats why I had to unplug it to get it to turn off. ---

eh, it doesnt feel as good as you would think, there is still so much to do. all of the wires are just twisted together. I figured thats the only way until I find a permanent location. So today I am going to go take it all apart and put the sheet metal back on so in a few weeks I can mount the intercooler and piping, radiator, condenser, and find a final home for the wires. Ill probably just zip tie the harness for now. ugh, 7 classes start monday. I hope it takes a while before I get enough work to impede on my weekends… lol ---

Seems like a lot of work for not much of a motor but hey, to each his own. I’d definitely put some gussets on both sides of this though: ![http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4525/011yjz.jpg](http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4525/011yjz.jpg) ---

the project is in zip 14747. prob 2-3 hours from binghamton. I will be down all labor day weekend if anyone wants to come down! lol pictures from this weekend ![http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2554/004goo.jpg](http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2554/004goo.jpg) I attempted to use the 240sx fuse/relay box but it was just a jumble of wires and I got frustrated so I cut it off. I had a set of relays from this remote start I never used to I screwed that and the ecu to a piece of plywood. It really helped for some reason. ![http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4900/003lgy.jpg](http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4900/003lgy.jpg) ![http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8283/002ved.jpg](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8283/002ved.jpg) ---

Im scared looking at that wiring right now… and i dont even have to work on it. lol. But sweet build so far… i love the idea of a high power low weight engine going in this thing… I hope you drift it! Have you seen the whiplash drift truck with a mitsu 4g63 in a mazda? ---

FYI- Jeep Grand Cherokee (93-98) steering boxes are Saginaw 700 (same model as the s10s), 12.7:1 ratio, are cheap and are a direct bolt in for second gens. I would imagine there are adapter fittings to make first gen lines work if they are different. The stock steering shaft should work since Jeep shafts are used as an upgrade in S10s. Jeep boxes are going for $65+ shipping while ZQ8 boxes run $125 and up + shipping. ---

good to know, but I am pretty sure my parts truck is a zq8. I already swapped that one over. is the jeep one the same ratio as the zq8? the wiring really isnt that bad. I just have the harness un-loomed so it looks crazy. lol. ---

^^^yep. and travis that red truck has a rear sway and zq8 wheels its defineatly a zq8 truck. fyi, the gearbox should be about 3 turns lock to lock. sweet deal on getting it running, and if you really want to know i can look and see what codes are in that glovebox. speaking of glovebox, the 98 should have the zq8 rpo code right on the sticker in there. ---
