Re: Winging a 1971 K5 Blazer L96 6L90 Swap

Thanks for checking out my build 1rippen6. The tank modification is explained further in the last post on the first page of this build thread. I used the stock tank and cut the hole for the sending unit with a large hole saw. After the hole was cut I welded in the retaining ring to make sure it was a solid mount. Please let me know if you have any further questions or need any measurements.

Re: Winging a 1971 K5 Blazer L96 6L90 Swap

Made a little more headway tonight. Got the front sway bar figured out and mounted. Since I did a 2" suspension lift, I had to reconfigure the way the sway bar mounted. I extended the bolt and used an 1-1/4" spacer. To mount it to the frame I ended up using a couple old transmission mount brackets I had laying around. The brackets gave me roughly 1" more clearance and helped me clear the brake lines. Almost looks factory.
