End to end steering stabilizer . Crome diff covers front & rear . 36" swamper radials with about 30% tread , maybe a bit more ? on 15x10 Aluminum wheels . no frame cracks around steering box !
>>>>>
Now for the good part
Motor: 5 ,000 miles maybe 6,000 on rebuild .
350" sbc .040 over = 358 , high volume Moroso blue printed oil pump , 6.00" steel rods , Keith Black pistons "flat top" , Moroso 7qt. Kick out pan & windage tray , center mains studded, outer Milodon bolts "All hardware ARP or Milodon TOP & Bottom . Total Seal gapless rings , file fit . Rotating assembly balanced to with in 1/4 gram internally and crank weight lessened , Block was shot peened , magged , decked to zero with total quench at .038 , DONE RIGHT ! Crane cam specs : 214'" intake & 224" exhaust @ .050 . cam degreed , Pete Jackson gear drive with billet timing cover , machined for roller bearing button , (to stop cam walk) .
>>>
Heads are 462x castings , 67cc chambers, Manley pro flow valves , 2.05" intake & 1.60" exhasut . Ports hogged and complete 2nd stage street port done $880.00 ea. (by brownsfeild heads several years back , now AFR I believe ? ) matched to fel-pro gaskets , intake ported to match , Holley contender , Chrome moly Jumbo retainer , 7 degree locks teflon seals , crane 1.550 double valve springs , 7/16" screw in studs and guide plates , Crower Stainless roller rockers with posi locks and Crane stud girdles , Accel ignition , Platinum Split fire 2 plugs , Edelbrock 750 carb with jetting done and offroad kit , SFI chrome dampner & painted block/heads chevy orange , Flow Max Headers with Aluminum gaskets , dual 2.5" exhaust through Dynomax mufflers . This Motor with a bigger cam can spin 7,000 rpms with these heads no problem , if the new owner decides to put in a bigger cam , the heads will flow enough to support a fairly healthy cam ! in the 2.50" range . New 4 core radiator & pump when engine put in .
>>>>>
Compression at 10.3.1 , "conservatively rated" around 385h.p. & 435 trq. , rings were file fit for 100 h.p. shot of Juice but I've never bought the set up . It runs well ! The body on the Blazer has some wiskey bumps but looks fairly good , it's not a show winner but is a solid 4 wheel drive , Doesn't look to bad when cleaned up . Has winch bumper on front and 2 KCs , chrome grill , chrome rear bumper and trailer hitch . Fenders have been trimmed , to allow for the flex with bigger tires and no more lift . I can send pics if anyone "seriously interested" , I live in Haines , AK , I don't drive it to much because it gets 7 mpg and you have to run premium . But mechanically I'd drive it any where , (if I could afford it) , What is it worth ? I figure if I can't get $4,000.00 for it then I won't sell it . I have almost $7000.00 in the engine alone Summit and Jegs love me .....LOL .
So tell me what you think ? Should I do ebay , I've tried locally and know one has any money for a toy . What would you do ?
