Those are the two engine mounts. Here are two more photos of them.

And here is the adjustable proportioning valve. Anyone have tips on how to get this adjusted right? Oh, and the relocated bracket. My advice? Use titanium drill bits and a corded drill.

And two exterior shots. Now that I've figured this out, I'll take some more. Does anybody have advice on where to find the bracket that bolts to the floor that the folding passenger seat mechanism goes into to lock? I tried LMC, Classic, etc, and nobody has it. Thanks! And thanks for the advice with the photos.

The seat stuff you will have to find at a wrecking yard or ebay. Or there's a guy up here in northern cal that has that kinda stuff. Depending on what it is, he can be pricey though.
The brake valve should be pretty simple. Just drive down the street and slam on the brakes. If the rears lockup before the fronts, then turn the valve closed a little bit (probably clockwise?) and repeat until the fronts lock up just before the rears.

Does the guy in NorCal have a website for the bracket? I'd pay up to 30 bucks or so. There's no way I'm going to find one at a pick-a-part down here any time soon. It took me several months just to find an instrument cluster, and that was from a truck, not a blazer. Thanks for the advice on the brake valve. I'll try it tomorrow. It sounds like fun! Does anyone have that DIY4X motor mount crossmember to given me any advice before I buy one and try to put my engine in it?

I have a feeling that the shop that you're referring to is Vintage Chevy Trucks in Fremont.

Owner is Bill O'Grady. Decent guy, but yes he does price his parts like they're made of gold. Nevertheless, if you REALLY need something and are willing to pay for it, chances are he's got it.
His website is somewhat improved, but I'd just call him directly instead of wasting time looking for a part on his website.

Greg's right, don't bother with the web site.
Ebay is the other place to check. That's where I got my seat brackets.

I saw seat brackets on there not long ago, but not the latch that bolts to the floor. I'll try this guy Bill. Thanks!
