Thanks Guys!!

I only work on this rig on the weekends. The NFL playoffs have not helped with that the last two weekends, no not much progress has been made. I hope to get some time in this coming weekend.

Buddy this thing is looking so sweet.
Nice to see that front sheet metal on there. :metal:

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I got the core support squared away this weekend. Progress is good!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Nice work. Looks like it will be tight around the fan/radiator

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Fits like a glove...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

That.... ^^^^ ... Is great news.

Looks like factory.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Man that is some creative slick work.

Like it.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Wow, Nice Job!
I see that the TBSS had E-Fans. Are there any more performance upgrades?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Just the fans and a cold air intake. Its pretty peppy as is...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

What cold air intake does it have?
I was under the impression that you would need a different tune for that to work correct...
Do you know if it has the 160° thermostat?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

just WOW, Awesome job !

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I forgot, it does have the 160 deg thermostat. Its a Cold Air Inductions intake.

It had a PCM of NC tune on it, but I'm going with a stand alone system. Im new to LS conversions. I may need to have the preprogrammed tune modified once I get it running.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Thanks man!!!

I dig your work!!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

you are blowing my mind following this thread

you guys are awesome

:metal::metal:

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

So, what will happen with the ECM/TCM with the PCM of NC tune?
I was going to do exactly all of this in the spring...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Im gonna hang onto them, just in case.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

O.K. Just want for you to keep me in mind...
I am pretty sure that they would need to be keyed to my VIN anyways.
I am thinking about making my TBSS run good, then freshen it up for my '66 when the body & drivetrain begin to take a crap....Plus it will be a fun DD in the meantime!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Gotcha. You are first in line if i decide to sell the pcm/tcm.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

great work!!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I am almost speechless with this build.. You are a craftsman with this thing. Keep up the good work and I will be following this build!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Wow, cool.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

My wife would kill me if I cut up her SS like that. But it gets me thinking....

Looking great.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Jump in, the water is fine!!!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Another great weekend is in the books. Somehow, it took two days for me to get the driver inner fender fabricated. I had to make a run to the local tractor supply to pick up a pair of trailer fenders so i had some wheel travel room up front. I also mocked up the grill.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

With the grill...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Sweet looking.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

The progress looks great..

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Lookin really good:metal: what are your plans for hood hindges?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I bought a Porterbuilt hinge kit a few months ago.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

All the fab work is done. I just finished up mounting the front and rear bumpers. I set my hood on there, and realized its totally fubared. Probably worse than my skills can repair. Anyhow, here are sone pics:

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Rear

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Wow! That is soooo ssssaaawweeeeet!!!
I really like it!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I would say your definition of FUBAR and mine are different. From what I see you did fantastic work.

Really cool looking forward to see what comes next!

Just the hood is fubared. I think someone sat on the back of it when it was off. On top of having multiple dents, it has a really flat spot in it. Ill try to fix it, but i dont have alot of confidence i can fix it.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Burb is looking great.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Now that makes sense. I can see some of what you were talking about on a closer look in the picture.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Despite the things you still need to fix, I am really pleased for you the way this has turned out.

You are going to be a very happy guy driving a modern that looks like it was a barn find.

Well done !!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

That is awesome!!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Right on! Making good progress :metal:
