Ok, so I am making progress on the motor, even though I only work on it on Saturdays for the most part. I haven't really done anything on the blazer yet, but I figured I could start a thread anyways yeah? So far just pictures of parts and some assembly...more to come...

Well that looks like a bad ass rig. Very cool.

Well, made some progress again yesterday. Got the heads on and did some cleaning. Just need to measure the pushrod length and then finish putting it together!

A little more progress

looks good, why the temporary attachment of the timing cover?

It still needs some machining in order to get the cam button thingy to fit correctly and then we have to measure the thrush? Back and forth movement of the cam? I guess it has to be within a certain range.

Thrust...ok, I see why now. Rollers are important to have that right.

Ah thrust, thanks for that. Obviously I'm not the one doing all the work!

Cool stuff in this thread keep up the good work on the 496 I want to see some video of it when it runs. Thats an awesome crew cab I'd love to build one of those.

Video huh, I can do that. Should be done in a few weeks I hope. Just picked up my tranny the other day, new mounts were ordered from Kert today, and I think that was the last purchase. Wait, there is no last purchase, nevermind.
