Blazer is really done. Last pictures while she is still mine.
- Thread starter cybrfire
- Start date
If it only took 2, I might be able to swing it.
Seriously though, I'm just dead tired and am trying to focus on the things that really have to be done first. If I have the time, it might get done.
Grinder with a cut off wheel...2 minute job. Stop wasting time you slacker.

Dude, that driveshaft stuff turned out super sweet!! 
Some shift knobs wacked out on the lathe. All the covers on the dash and buttoned up.
Loaded up on the trailer and just about ready to go. Not really happy with the tie down points so we'll make some changes to that tomorrow.
And a good opportunity to get a shot of the aluminum skid plate.

3/8" thick. Be interesting to see how it holds up.

looks good man i like it, you should offer these on diy4x man, id say it would hold up thats pretty thick stuff
Might be a tough sell. The 3/8" is kinda spendy stuff too.

I can't believe I've missed this build thread.
That's one awesome blazer!
Damn impressive work
I have a couple of questions though...

What stops the pump from sucking air through one of the lines when the truck is tilting to the side?
I'm probably not the right person to comment on anyones drive shaft fabrications and especially not yours, but couldn't this use some more weld at the flange?
It starts up pretty decent. Couple of afterstart enrichment tables I could tweak just a bit to get it into closed loop a bit quicker.
Then there is the 2000 rpm thing. If you start it and it sits idle, it doesn't happen but once you drive it, it'll jump RPM to 2000 and try to stay there. Something in the gain tables is forcing the IAC open when it isn't needed. This one is my biggest concern.
Outside of that it runs awesome. Lots of power, perfect throttle response and very quick.

All 4 of the pickups are the type that close off when air is introduced. They have to be submerged to be open.
Unfortunately, I didn't take more pics of the shaft construction. The plate has a hole in the center that the yoke fits in. Yoke goes through the 1/2" plate, half way and then there is a full circle bead on the inside of the flange.
Just curious, why 8 bolts on the rear pinion flange and "only" 4 on the others?
