after putting about 600 miles on it, i tore into the electronics of the engine and had the computer sent back out for retune. it ran well, but not as well as a 2006 5.3 should. once that is done- ill drive her the rest of the sunny days of 2010... but then off the road once again for final paint!

how much lift is that, also what was the wheel/tire plans/sizes/backspacing

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
 

did you have to mod the firewall for the engine or move it up?

how does it drive with your nv4500 and engine ect?

Saw the blazer at the Hot Danville Nights and talked with your dad a bit. Nice work! Love the rack idea on the rear seat mounts and the gas filler door is nicely done. Great work, keep it up!

Great thread...so give us some updates !!!
Did the computer retune help?
Let's see some more pics of the storage boxes you made for the back...I'm thinking of doing the same.

I'm getting ready to start a build on a 72 2wd. I want similar seats to the ones you have. Do you have any more details on making them fit and hooking the wiring up? I'm interested in the front and rear seat setup that you have.

Thanks.

I bought a 2001 Chevy 2500HD standard cab and noticed the driver/passenger bench seat in it is similar to the seats in this blazer with one exception: They fold forward, though they don't slide forward in addition to folding forward.
