Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
I do have a B&M but it's a 3spd version, guess it's going over to the parts section now...
White faced dash I've been saving awhile just for this build. |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Looks like the same thing I have. Was using it on the TH350 and now the 700r4. There's a pin that needs to be removed on the shifter mechanism to let you ratchet down 1 more notch to work in a 4sp. Then all you need is a new label for the face...$10 or $12, I think.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
So that is what clean concrete looks like, hmmm, mine is so covered with gear oil drip marks and spilled motor oil, etc - nice to see that concrete doesn't actually start off looking all stained.
Cool to see the progress!

That looks like a pretty sweet mancave. Those higher side walls will really payoff

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Getting ever closer.
Have a bench I want to build and still have lots of 'arranging' to do but yeah...I'm considering bringing the blazer home if not today, very soon. Priced out the roll up doors last week too... ![]() Blazer update: Received the 4spd tilt column this week. ![]() |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
The auto shifter you have (3-speed) only needs the shift plate replaced, give Summit a call and they can send it out, it was like $15, the shifter and everything else is the same, the pattern is on the plate, so don't sell it!!
