Well I finally got a roundtoit and started putting my Blazer engine together.

Great looking motor!!!

Gee, I opened this up thinking it was going to be some boring engine build, not at all. Looks great, how about some specs.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-31-2008, 02:59 PM

Yep, let's here the specs, you've probably mentioned it before, but I've got that can't remember sh$t disorder!

pumpkin · 07-31-2008, 04:11 PM

Specs hmm, lets see if I can remember. Balanced 400, .030 over, forged pistons, hyd roller cam .550 lift 285 duration, 64 cc alum heads with 2.05 intakes, roller rockers stud griddle, edelbrock performer rpm air gap, 750 cfm tbi. I'm hoping for around 400-450 hp and torque. I can't wait to fire it up and see what it'll do.

Wow, you should really be able to rev that bad boy up. Did you fill the water jacket or no?

No didn't fill the water jacket, once its back together and on the road it will be my daily driver.

Hoping to get my ass in gear and get it back on the road in about a year. The Blazer was rearended and written off. I bought it back and strted the rebuild once I was able to work on it again. This is how it sits now.
