1972 2WD Blazer LS build

hello all,


My project:
72 Blazer
Plans:
LS3 with 500/600 RWHP
TR6060 6sp trans
Restore on interior with modern Suburban seats, stock on everything else.
Do a frame off resto.
Two tone paint job.

Possible plans:
9" rear. Gears TBD



I have done several build threads but this one I would like to document the most because of the lack of LS swaps in detail. Hopefully it will inspire others to follow suit.

Bringing the Blazer home.

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks. I just picked up another project 72 SWB. The 68 clip may just make its way on the Blazer.

5th gen Camaro drive train in a 1st Gen 2wd Blazer, this is going to be a badass build! I had a '12 Camaro and the LS3/TR6060 combo is like a wet dream. :Bow:

How many miles on the LS3? What engine mods are you doing to it?

I'm excited to see the progress on this one

The motor has 15k on it. The guy smashed the rear and totaled it. I plan on doing a cam, intake, Valve train, headers. Looking at builds online this should be good for over 500WHP. My LS2 Chevelle had 438WHP with more mods than what I will do with the Blazer.

Same here!

That's going to be an awesome cruiser, I can honestly say that's the only first gen 2wd I've ever seen..

LS-Claus came today. Such a clean motor. Now I am on the hunt for a 6spd.

 

[Rat_Crispy]

LMAO, look at it sitting in the background.. It looks like it's smiling because it knows that heinous engine is going to be powering it soon! Super cool truck man!

 

[Meangreen1]

Well I did a little work today before the heat set in. I wanted to see what the 68 front end on the blazer. The hood patina is awesome!!

 

[Phil513]

So very cool. I love it.

 

[GWeakland620]

Nice!

 

[Justin V]

Mmmmmm POPCORN!

 

[grevels]

Looking good.

 

[70jimmy]

Yep count me in!

 

[beags86]

What are you planning to run for wheels?

 

[max 02]

Awesome!

A pic of your Chevelle would be cool to see as well!?

 

[Meangreen1]

Had a couple of minutes and wanted to see how the Camaro SS pan fits.


So far it looks good. What have people used for brackets and mounts? For my Chevelle I used Dirty Dingo sliding mounts.

 

[Chevy305]

So does it fit in there with the a/c compressor and alternator in between the frame?

 

[GWeakland620]

The AC compressor is the main one that I have always heard is the biggest clearance issue.

Loving this build already. Any plans for suspension? Lower, stock, etc?
