Re: 97 Sonoma SYTY Conversion
I little tidbit reguarding the Trick flow aluminum elbow. You can use 3" OD pipe and run it straight to the tb and weld on a bung. Then get a 3" to 4" silicone transition and two t-clamps and save yourself a little dough. I had the TFS elbow on my tystang a while back and later switched to the 3" aluminum piping that ran into the silicone transition attached to the tb when I installed my water-air ic under the dash. It worked great and definately looked alot cleaner.

Re: 97 Sonoma SYTY Conversion
Crap, I had no idea this build was going on... I am really out of it. Looks nice!
Personally, I'm in the middle of a "long build". This is basically because I ran out of money, and am lazy. This thread is getting me stoked to work on my truck again... perhaps tomorrow... lol.

Great to see you back. Feeling better I hope? We are done too. Firing it up tomorrow, but I ran into a major personal set back. I lost my job Wednesday which really sux. No telling where I will end up now. Probably back down in Florida. Let me know when the key is turned!

Re: 97 Sonoma SYTY Conversion
At last she's done. Well Almost. Just have tuning and transmission issues to deal with, but it runs very strong. It's been a long road but I feel like it was well worth it. I will send QWKSTRM some of the final pics when I clean up the outside. I just got back from Florida in it so she's pretty dirty. Thanks guys for all of your support and help.

60 lbs. drops off and the engine shuts down. No big deal, I'll figure it out and that'll be that.
My health is a little better. Wow! what a rush to finally hear the engine running. PEACE>Tony

Re: 97 Sonoma SYTY Conversion
The most important thing right now is that you get yourself healthly otherwise that truck means nothing. I'm glad that you got it running, but you take care of yourself first. As for me, I will be hauling A%#$ come Wednesday when we drop in the 77mm. I can't wait. Take care my friend, Don
