Swbman · 09-18-2005, 10:41 PM

Another nice looking blazer, I see you guys in the northwest can still find some nice pretty rust free rigs....

bouncytruck · 09-18-2005, 11:18 PM

Looks nice. What's the specs on the new engine?

*72CSTC5* · 09-18-2005, 11:26 PM

Nice clean Blazer. Your engine looks really good and detailed.

RED72blazer · 09-18-2005, 11:44 PM

Fairly stock rebuild .30 over with speedpro pistons and rings, 1.94/1.50 valves, 9.25:1 compression,stock cam( or rv cam whatever that is.feels stock to me. I'll swap it soon!)

yeah, little bit of rust but not to bad, Paid 500 for it 3 years ago, did a brake job then dove it for a year and a half before the engine it came with blew, by my calculations this is atleast the fourth engine, but that's another story.

Nice looking Blazer! How long have you had it now? Jeff.

RED72blazer · 09-19-2005, 01:55 PM

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-19-2005, 03:09 PM

Looks like the begining to a neverending project

RED72blazer · 09-19-2005, 03:26 PM

yeah I should have restored it instead of a driving project. all the running gear is new now and I am ready to start on the body work, please pray for no rust.

You got a h3ll of a deal for $300 bucks, that looks to be a great foundation to start with! Keep us up to date on the progress and it goes without saying.......more pictures!

Great Looking Blaza!!

*Medicanman71* · 09-23-2005, 03:36 PM

How big is it? Was that posted and i missed it? Looks good, i like the bumper guard. Nice engine!

RED72blazer · 09-23-2005, 05:40 PM

4 inch lift with a 33 inch tire. I like the bumper guard too, but I want to strip the chrome and powdercoat it black. Then I will put a stock grill in too.
thanks for the complements.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-23-2005, 05:59 PM

Looking great.

*Medicanman71* · 09-23-2005, 06:11 PM

oh sweet i just got a 4" spring kit and ordered 33"S today !! err, now i need to track down a grill/bumper guard like that! I'll post up some pics of it later in the day. Actually its more like 6" in the back, unlike blazer ass-sag, i'm going to have to see what i can do about bringing the nose up a bit!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-24-2005, 06:25 PM
