But the valve covers and heads looked just like my 6.0 in my 07. So, I think the vette is really the only gm dual cam v-8 ls engine? or what about northstar? BTW, the salesman at the lots nowadays are as dumb as a rock.
Last I've read, all LS engines are single cammed.

For f-bodies, 6.2 autos (the L99) come w/VVT (variable valve timing); 6spd manual equipped cars (the LS3) do not get the VVT.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Project Blaz-Air
Where are you getting your PCM reprogrammed? What color are you painting the Blaz-air?

Again showing how ignorant I really am about GM engines, what I should have said ZR1-LT5 vette engine. ZR1-LT5

I really get sick of the GM car salesman knowing nothing about the product they are selling. It kinda reminds me of when I go to wally world and ask the guy in electronics about a big screen tv. Know what I mean.

That sounds like a sweet deal $100. I figured you would keep it a secret. That looks like some high $$$$ paint on your 52 so I can only imagine....

Re: Project Blaz-Air
Here are some updated pics of the bedsides welded on and also some pics of the work being done on the firewall.

Sorry some of the pics are dark

Drivers side being welded up





Passenger side welded up



Firewall pics. Progress of shaving the rain gutter









Straightened out the hump of the clutch hole and shaved the rest. Also shaved of the area to the right where the wiring harness used to go to make it look match the passenger side.



Another pic of the hump of the clutch straightened and shaved.

Great looking firewall! I am thinking about doing a similar detail on our wire gutter. Keep it up!

Re: Project Blaz-Air
Thanks everyone for the compliments. Today I am going to install the rockers so I can bolt the doors up and get them lined up so I can start cutting down the doors and capping them off.

Re: Project Blaz-Air
Update: I got the passenger door on and lined up along and started shaving the door handle when I ran out of gas in my welder!



Got the front fender on to make sure the door gaps lined up and its starting to look like a blazer again!

Re: Project Blaz-Air
Started mocking up the dash today. I need to go get some sheet metal bend to fill in the gap and mold to the A-pillars. That center section will be cut out and shaved to give the entire dash a smooth look. More pics of this progress will come in the next couple of days.

Firewall pics. Progress of shaving the rain gutter
I was wondering, how did you shave the gutter off your firewall? Gring and weld, grind and weld? Or did you weld it up from the back side first then grind?

Re: Project Blaz-Air
do as much welding as possible, grind the welds down and then go back and fill in the missed spots weld them and grind. There is a lot of welding and grinding!!!!
