blazer typhoon clone. LS2 Engine ??

[dukcaln]

so i met the guy and looked at the truck. it seems to be a pretty clean install. However, the needs would be tires and wheels. Bald tires and damaged wheels. Also the plastic is cracked in a few spots on the out side typhoon molding. needs alot of tlc and the speedo isnt hooked up but the gas gauge, temp and oil gauge works. Will need brakes and new shocks..... other than that i drove it and it seems to run fine and has some go go to it.....pretty fast. the motor mounts were welded in place and the engine sits at an angle, kinda the front of the motor is higher than the rear, no ac but heater and it has some slight vibration on freeway. I think it is because of the motor mounts. also the smog will be a issue in ywo years. guy has a smog certif but there is question there???? I was thinking if I got it i would transplant the motor and tranny in my 72 later down the road..... what do you guys think. asking price is 5k... I can't see paying more than 3k..... but let me know your thoughts guys

He could sell the motor/tranny tommorow for 3-5K if its complete and in good shape.

Not sure I would be intrested in a bastertized blazer but it would be fun if it all worked.
