There is a lot of chevy goodness in that picture.
Thanks, it drives even better!
Got the cardboard glove box liner installed finally. Couldn’t figure out how to get it in there without tearing and destroying it. Then I got smart and got it wet! That’s the trick.
There sure is! There’s two maybe three more missing though
Ratty broken hardtop is off. New softopper is being fitted. These full convertible trucks are a lot more finicky work. Seems like it’ll be good though.
In my opinion, that was the best blazer made !!
In theory, an LS swap x-member should work for an LT swap with the right pan, right?
Was the holley pan mainly needed because no lift? If there was 3-4” of lift, may have been able to get away without it?

Correct. You have to use the swap pan and a different crossmemeber like the ord or similar. That was the case for both the ‘77 and the ‘72. Amount of lift wouldn’t matter.
On both I made my own engine mounts to put it where I wanted it, so I can’t say what you’d get with a store bought mount.
Thanks alot. I can deal with shortening the front shaft. That helps greatly. That means that I could do the same as you. I have already received my advance adapters kit, and as of tomorrows delivery, I will have everything to do my L8T swap except the belt, the BTR cam and engine mounts (I may make my own).
I settled on ported injection, Holley terminator x max for gen 4 LS, Holley high ram, Hooker/Holley stainless manifolds and I already had the adapters to run ported injection. The reason for ported injection is reliability and the fact that next year I plan to run out of injector flow with either a blower or turbos.
Damnit! I cannot find that same 5" channel that you used. It looks like quarter inch thick.Is that correct? How long were your pieces? I am getting ready to begin making mine a reality but I want to have everything I need before I begin.
Thanks. Btr tested this combo on E85 at 639 hp. I should get close to that. I should be within 10%.
Truthfully, your build thread has been locked to my chrome tabs since I saw it. Yours has been a motivator. So thank you sir! I plan to take a "Freedom ride" to the west coast stopping in my parents desolate property near Kingman Az. Maybe I will swing by Henderson on either the way there or on the way back. Let you check it out!
When you going to get Deon on here?
Yeah, I believe they forgot a zero for sure.don't have a good spot for this but idk they seemed to have dropped a 0, maybe Eddie should look into this ??
