Red face 1974 K5 Blazer LS3 TR6060

Well, onto the next one. Not a whole lot of back story on this Blazer other than I got my hands on it, had a Softtopper top and I had to track down a hard top. SBC truck with a TH350.

Was driving it for a while, no real issues, normal stuff. Sold a Corvette I had which is funding this quest.

So for the drivetrain, it's a 54K mile 2013 Camaro LS3 with a TR6060 trans. I am in no way shape or form a content creator, but decided to do a build series on this one. Here's the links to the youtube videos. there's 2 so far.

And here is how it goes.

Being that it's a 2013 Camaro, that means electric power steering. Now I could've went and got a bracket kit and ran hydraulic power steering but I was feeling like I wanted to be different. So here's my take on the brackets for a Volvo EPS system.

















I whipped this up on Fusion 360 and had a local Metal shop plasma cut this out. I have since built my own plasma table and look forward to doing more things like this in the future!

Re: 1974 K5 Blazer LS3 TR6060

Little pedal adapter I whipped up in Fusion 360 to 3D print. Worked out great. Might adjust the angle just a bit, but probably only spent about $5 in filament and an hour and a half over 2 different iterations/designs.

It uses the factory bolts and mounting location and just adapts the pedal where it should be.

Re: 1974 K5 Blazer LS3 TR6060

Interested in following the electric steering install.

I sometimes see LT engines cheaper than LS engines around here.

I've been kind of "old school" in that I've "preferred" hydraulic steering over electric even though I had never really tried it, but I've been driving my son's Golf GTI and can't say I notice any difference.

Keep on posting.
