408 LSX build.
I've decided to put my 355 that I've been building, in my S-10. I'm gonna go buy a complete LQ9 6.0 and start from there. I was wondering about my torque converter for my TH350 working with the flexplate. Like if I have to buy any adapter or anything I will. I just can't really afford to be put back on this to buy another converter. It's a Hughes 3500 stall. Just let me know what I have to do to make this work, or if it will.

Re: 408 LSX build.
How much is the complete engine setting you back? Are you getting new wiring and what Computer will you be using

I'm buying the complete motor with hardly any miles for 1k. I'm gonna carb it.

Re: 408 LSX build.
ahh ok.. So you are going the other route. I would like to see pics as you put this togethor. I haven't heard of anyone doing that on a LS motor, or doing a carb project. I wouldn't know where to start on that one. I could do a L98 or LB9 all day long though.
