Finally got it started today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jtrux · 02-18-2007, 07:28 PM

I got my blazer started today fot the first time in two years with it's new engine. Critter and I worked on all day today until about twenty minutes ago and it all came together when she fired up.

Here are the specs (pics soon):
GM goodwrench 260 hp crate motor
Edelbrock performer intake
Carter 625 carb
MSD Pro-billet distributor
MSD Coil
MSD 6AL
Dynomax headers
Accel wires
I guess that's about it.

Of course it was open headers so it was insanely loud but I loved it. We didn't do a full break in on it (because it was so loud and getting late) but ran it for ten minutes at increased RPM. It had great oil pressure and no miss or anything else bad, i'm pretty excited right now and can't wait to drive it.

I hope to feel the glory in the next week.

He's got a point there. You are always asking others for pics. Time for you to step up!

Jtrux · 02-19-2007, 08:08 PM

Point taken, I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them right away. It's not pretty yet cuz the pulleys and brackets still haven't been painted but it works so that's all that matters.

70gmcjimmy · 02-20-2007, 08:58 PM

Oh yeah it is still open headers. The poeple around him are LOVING IT! Im sure he's gonna get kicked out of the community pretty quick.

Jtrux · 02-21-2007, 07:32 PM

Yeah I was gonna take pics today while I had it fired up but my crappy flex fan took out my upper radiator hose right away so i'll fix that and then post some pics. I get my new march power steering brackets tomorrow so that'll look nice on there.
