Dang, that sucks, but I guess the damage could have been alot worse.

Alexis · 06-27-2007, 11:04 AM

wow.......i think something like this would put me into depression. One thing about projects is the amount of setbacks can be numerous......but's that part's of the learning curve, patience.

gringoloco · 06-27-2007, 08:47 PM

Sorry for your misfortune. Patriot will warrant the heads but not the damage. On the upside, stock pistons can be had for a song- unless you just want to drop in a new motor. Sounds like a good excuse to build a 408 stroker with the L92/L76 setup to me...

I have a small favor to ask: Do you have or could you possibly take a pic or two of how you have the rear seat mounted? I have a set of these same seats and was wondering how you got them to work.

Thanks and good luck -Chris

Dude sux but glad to hear you are going to get the bodywork done and painted. Let us know how it works out. Did you get to try it with the zo6 cam? I am thinking about doing the same thing with my 5.3.

Remember if you do iron 6.0 no problem...But if you go aluminum you need to change the covers, and get all the electrical conectors to swap it to a LS2. The heads are an easy fix and you dont need to do anything to the short block if it didnt break the piston or damage a ring land which it doesnt look as if it did...I would get a new seat installed and a valve job and throw it back together...

What a beautiful Blazer! I also love your '62. Keep up the build, as said before, it will all be worth it in the end. Nathan has fabricated a piece of art in your Blazer. I can't wait to see it completed.

Help?

First you need to subscribe, then you can post a "for sale" post in the classified section. Can't do that in this subforum. You can get help posting pics by going to the FAQ section and reading a post or two on posting pics.

Hey Kyle, is this pic full lift? Or somewhere close to ride height? This is without drop spindles, right? Just curious, I may be doing something similar soon...

babyblueoval · 09-29-2007, 08:19 PM

Chris,

Kyle will probably chime in but I remember asking him the same question and that pic is aired all the way up, or close to it, so ride height will be lower. His is a 4x4 frame so it does not have dropped spindles.

Kyle, I didn't realize that your blazer was originally a 4X4, I'll have to get Nathan on mine when I gather some cash. Thank your parents again for the help with the templates, they are awesome (referring to your parents not the templates).

Right after I got the templates made, a complete set of top glass became available, but I haven't heard back from the owner for some time now. Saturday I finished pulling the broken glass out and have covered the hatch with clear plastic. Any chance you wanna sell me your spare glass?

ColoradoK5 · 10-10-2007, 11:43 AM

Hey Kyle any updates?
