2wd blazer(s)

[blazerboy72]

I have got my self into a situation where I need to free upsome funds. So I have a 71 original 2wd blazer minus motor and trans and I also have a swb frame that has been converted to a 2wd blazer frame.

The swb frame has been c nothced, all but the trailing arm crossmembers have been replaced with tubular crossmembers, front crossmember narrowed 1.5" with rack and pinion steering. It also has bags 2 viar 380c's, 8 3/8 valves, 5 gallon tank, narrow 12 bolt with camaro disk brakes also has new polished stainless brake lines.

The body/frame is an original 2wd. The body has been tubbed to match the wide tires of the swb frame but it hasnt been finished welded to makesure it would lineup with the notch. It has the normal rust but I have all the repair panels, some repairs have been started. I have 3 sets of doors, 2 hoods (original and cowl) 2 sets of fenders, 2 tailgates, single wall top (not in great condition), 2 rear hatches, 2 rear seats (one narrowed to match tubs and stock).

Nowon to the engine trans combo. I also have an 03 5.3 with 36k miles with a 4l80e (46k miles). The engine has 80lb injectors, patriot dual valve springs, hardened pushrods, 3 cams (stock, comp big mutha thumpr, epp blower/turbo cam). It would also include a complete turbo system with a masterpower t70, waste gate, blow off valve, 3 inch intercooler, all tubing, 3 bar maf, etc. The fuel system is an aluminum fuel cell, an/aluminum lines, 2 walbro 255's with either stock or aftermarket rails. I was building it to make ~650 hp on e85 but it will be fine on pump gas with a tune.

So now my question is would it be worth more assembled (body on swb frame with motor trans installed), seperate(2wd body/frame and swb frame with engine/trans) or a complete part out? I have A LOT invested in this and know I can't make it back but I need to make as much as possible. I will try to get pictures up soon to get a better idea of what I have.

Very cool project. I know it would be worth a LOT more if you could get that sweet engine package up and running. I don't know where to tell you to start on price (i usually guess wrong). but I am tuning in to follow this thread. Post an update on what you decide to do (especially if you part)
