Huh?
Why do that? Leave the original stuff here, and just keep going. It is just a continuation of what you have already done.

Guess I could.

I plan on putting some V-Bands on the manifolds, seems like it would be easier and I would have to worry about exhaust leaks popping up.
Uugh, stop over thinking this. Just get a new water pump, or leave the old one alone and reuse. As for v-bands, there really isn't a point. Do what you want, but now you will never have easily replaceable exhaust. That may not bother you. Not a positive for me. More hassle and work just so you won't have a gasket/donut at the collecter. Keep it simple and easy to fix.

I might be over thinking things. Just rrying to keep everything as simple as possible, the v bands make unhooking exhaust so easy and there's no flange studs to rot away and break off or gaskets.

I use copper anti seize on just about ever bolt I use.

Update:
Ordered the TNA crossmember and TNA LS engine mounts tonight, should see 'em here in the next week and a half or so.
Haven't really did anything else with the Blazer... been doing a lot of training for work and trying to spend time with the family and work on stuff around the house.

A friend gave me this, was sitting in their garage and was offered to me.
Ran the numbers on the bottom. Comes out of a LMTV/FMTV. Folds down flat and has sliders. Super simple.
I think I know where I can get two more of these for free, just gotta make time to do it.

Where are you putting those?

I was gonna put them in the blazer. Too cheap for nice suspension seats but want something different than stock.
Will look forward to this. I know how those seats ride in an LMTV....will be interesting to see them in a K5.

Is that a good or bad thing lol?

Picked up a 2003 truck intake complete minus throttle body for $40. The reason for this is because one of the injectors on the 6.0 was fubared. Stock replacements cost over $100 each (ouch...) and a used set of 8 is running about $75 on eBay.
The intake is a helluva lot cleaner than the one that's on the engine too. They're exactly the same minus a sensor missing and that's really it, I can swap that over from the original intake, all of this stuff looks pretty plug and play.
Seems like a good score to me.

I'm gonna try and prime them this weekend and pull the fenders off the truck and starte the de-bracketing of all the suspension in prep for new brackets and such.
