I'm sure he will correct me if I am wrong--- No his rubber section was the original from the S10. He has a photo of them on the previous page.

That one looks more like the one I'm using in the new truck.

I can get about 3100 but usually don't ride it that hard. Some of the others on here are turning them up more than that.

Made some progress on the new build. The engine is complete and painted, the clutch is in, transmission attached, and stuck in the truck. I still need to swap out the rear end, put the radiator support back on, and building a new battery tray. I already figured out all the wiring feeding back to the instrument cluster so that should go quick. Still a ways to go but getting there is half the fun!
