HI, everybody.

here's my 1993 C1500 cheyenne (originally V6 4.3L - single beam grille) turns into a very aggressive V8 zz383 stroker. here's the list of the exterior modifications

none of those would be possible without the help of a friend, who is for me the best mechanic for V8 in tahiti... Lorrens high performance parts..

it has a 2/4 complete belltech lowering kit (spindles, shackles, leaves)

4 eagle 223 two pieces wheels in 15X8 with 245/60 front and 295/50 rear.

motor change process...

a close up of the engine

it was supposed to be a 454 HO from jegs putting 425 HP and 500 LBS of torque...

finally we decide to take a ZZ383 for his weight, power and size...

on dyno the results were 445 HP and 470 LBS of torque. 

we done this complete conversion in 1 week... of hard working

performance specs:

- ZZ383 stroker from GMPP

- aluminium bowtie valve covers

- march power pulleys

- holley double pumper 750 CFM

- Hooker super competion headers ceramic

- GMPP intake manifold - torker style

- flowmaster Super 44 exhaust

- MSD coil

- pertronix distributor

- jegs ignition wire cable

- TH400 B&M transmission

- KN air filter

-accel sparkplugs

- 3000 stall converter

by the way, if you plan one day to change your engine + transmission, do not forget to order a special driveshaft...

 from this small V6

 to this ZZ383 engine

The complete evolution

I bought this car from a friend, from this

 the first day, I bought it

to this

  2 months later

to finally this

 today

it has now a complete set of torq wheels 17X8 front and 17X9.5 rear with falken tires

255/50 front and 275/50 R17 rear....

the next step is to order a complete 454SS rear end, to put the horsepower to the road.

I have also ordered a set of jegs racing seats but I can't find any bracket to fit into my pick up, if someone knows where can I get them, do not hesitate.

by the way I have already a set of bracket from classic industries ( they don't fit)

here's some pictures of my friends cars...

we lived in tahiti and we are US truck lovers, my friend lorrens has 2 454SS pick up (one 1990 and one 1992) , I own a car parts and audio store, We import directly from USA to tahiti, so we can get all the new products... we recently convert a 89 wrangler into a chevy 383 engine swap ,

a 70 camaro into a BBC 454  

 turn into a BBC 454 engine

my dream is to one day buy a chevelle like this one, I shot during the 08 sema show in las vegas

foxy ladies from a wheel supplier -

my new wheels - centerline telstar 15X8 front and 15X10 rear with the right backspace and offset, they are awesome, great and they are extremely light... if you have a powerful engine, and a lot of torque, I highly recommand those... you won't be desapointed...trust me

Since I removed my old 17 torq thrust 2 wheels, I see the difference, I can use and abuse the torque of my truck, it is faster and acceleration is awesome.

 25mm negative offset rear.

12mm negative offset front

245/60 R15 front BFGOODRICH RADIAL T/A tires

  new jegs bucket seats from jegs with custom aluminium brackets

 jegs differential cover with edelbrock IAS shocks, the best shocks I tried...

 new grant steering wheel

B&M megashifter

 new spark plug wires

 new stainless upper cooling hose

 new complete interior, more look, more sport....
