Re: Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T
Well, I figure I will update this with exciting stuff. I have been purchasing items for my swap. I have decided to move forward with Holley Gen 4 swap Terminator x max, ported injection and have been buying parts to make that happen. I also decided to stick with the truck intake vs the LT2 intake to retain the torque down low. I could have more power but the torque is what make me happy!
I have also received my 220 amp alternator and installed the dual alternator bracket. the 170 amp alternator is moved to the second alternator spot so the 220 amp will be my main alternator. I will likely end up running two 220 amp alternators. I will upload and add photos later today. -Current performance- harness adapter- https://currentperformance.com/shop/...ort-injection/ -Oil pan- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mast motorsports truck intake with ported injection- https://www.mastmotorsports.com/coll...ld-up-to-650hp Mast Motorsports DI injector plugs- https://www.mastmotorsports.com/coll...ction-plug-kit ICT Billet fuel injectorplug hold downs- https://www.amazon.com/LT-Gen-Plates...f_=as_li_ss_tl |

Re: Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T
I am excited to say that I accidentally bought a NP205 case that has the correct big bearing bore. I have been purchasing parts to get this engine into my ride.
There has been a change in my setup though. Due to Mast Motorsports kind of messing up my order, I returned the intake and have decided to go with direct injection but using the Holley terminator X max kit. After looking at the numbers, the terminator x max gen 5 kit with 6l90e controller is going to be only about $500 more than the ported injection conversion and I will get to keep my VVT. I will be ordering my advance adapters 6l90E to Np205 converter kit very soon. |

Joying hasbeen great for me. They are a higher tier Android headunit company along with a couple other quality companies. Teyes and Mekede are two more awesome companies. If you plan to do a console, I would recommend Teyes or Mekede due to their design which has everything built into the screen. Joying will also work but you have to mount the brain (chassis) somewhere. Joying sells an extended ribbon cable for remote mounting. I am using it in my Blazer. I started my car audio hobby back in the mid 90's and worked in the industry professionally for many years until I started making wayyyy more money in different industries. I have been building high end Car audio systems as a hobby/side gig for decades now. One thing that I realized when considering a console build is that in the Blazer, with the top off you will not be able to see the screen due to the glare it you angle it up. Your best bet will be to try to angle the screen in a way with no glare before you make it permanent. I have almost the same unit in my 76 Regal and can barely see the screen due to glare. It was because I wanted the screen flat on the dash of the Regal. Once installed, I realized that I will have to redesign it. Thanks for the post ![]() Last edited by NDM; 08-09-2024 at 12:20 AM.

Re: Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T
I really appreciate the reply. I hadn’t even thought about the glare with the top off. Will do some mockup/testing with ipad or consider going back to original location on dash. I really like the looks and size of those joying units and that they support carplay. I will definitely have some questions when it’s time for audio. I’ve had a local shop do several cars for me but want to give it a go on my own with the blazer.
Thanks again and keep posting pics of the build! |

Talk about rapid escalation! I just ordered the advanced adapter part! Definitely no stopping the madness now!
