I moved my alternator to the top driver’s side. It cleared up a lot of space and looks cleaner.

If you’re struggling with heat, consider ceramic coating on the headers. It keeps the under-hood temperatures down considerably.

That’s a solid idea! I also added heat wrap where I could. It’s definitely worth it for the engine bay temperature.
I once saw someone use an electric water pump for their V8 S10. Anyone tried that? I hear it can help with cooling a lot.
I used one in my build. It freed up some horsepower and improved cooling. Definitely a worthwhile investment.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m chasing my tail trying to get everything to fit. Anyone else feel that pain?

For sure! The S10’s engine bay is tight. Just take it one step at a time and you’ll get it sorted out.
Just remember to have fun with it! These modifications can be challenging, but that’s part of the joy of building your own ride.
