Got the Blazer's 400 sbc fired up!!!

Got the rebuilt 400 sbc fired up in my Blazer this afternoon. Sounds really good even through the existing glasspacks. Still a bit to do to be able to drive it but finally fired up!!!!!!

Doesn't look like the alternator is working, I have a short in the wiring that controls some of the outside lights and dash and the temp gauge may be off a bit, but she runs!!!!!!

Here's an audio file of her running

Still not driveable so audio is all your gonna get now, but I will be sure to do a video when it is driveable.

Cracked my heater core at some point while the motor was out plus gained a short somewhere in my wiring harness. Also have a bad alternator I'm guessing. Gonna buy new engine bay harnesses and step up to an internally regulated alternator.

Had to fire it up a few times today, fires right up and sure idles nice. Hate to say it but I kinda of like the glasspacks. Gives it that 70's sound. They will be replaced as I won some mufflers from Mudhog a couple years ago.
