I want one of those!

I have an 04 trailblazer and am not very happy with the drive by wire feature. It takes the engine a bit of time to get going as much as you want it too. I would go with a regular throttle cable.

Yep it's out of a trailblazer...will be changing to a truck pan from what the boss is telling me!

I don't think that oil pan will fit on our trucks. Pm me I have a few extra for the regular trucks/tahoes that shifty used and I am using I can send you one for the cost of shipping.

That's a hell of a deal Killer, you'll also need the windage tray, oil pickup and dipstick for the truck oil pan also.

The windage tray is the splash guard inside the pan, and his might come with it.

The truck dipstick is longer, I think. I don't know if you'll get an accurate oil reading using a truck pan with a car disptick.

You will almost absolutely need a new oil pickup for the deeper oil pan.

That place looks expensive. Do their motors even include a tranny with them for that price?

killer71 · 04-27-2007, 04:56 PM

Does anyone know where I could find a cover for the top of the motor?

Readdiction you have pm!

Custom 68 · 04-27-2007, 05:41 PM

The cover on Hart Rods can be found pretty cheap. I found a 3 piece one from a Vortec Max, cadalac also has a 3 piece. Those are pretty sharp they cover most of the wiring and fuel rails.
