Looks good Adam. When's the big move? How many trucks will you be taking with you?

I hope to move in March. I have sold everything but the Blazer. I am having the wiring harness reworked to look cleaner so that I can run the LS intake. Once that is done I hope to get it started and maybe it will be easier to sale. If not I guess I will have to take it with me to FL!!!

Making a little progress. I have the dash/chassis harness done. Gauges where installed to make sure I like them with the steering wheel on. I stuck the seat in it to check clearance as well but didn't get a pic of that. Also snapped a pic of the bed rail caps I will run (but they will be tan leather not black - although the black does look good!)

I'm sure she was so you had any interest in the blazer? Or did you ever find a narrow rear and get it finished up?

[VA72C10]

Looking good. So you're wrapping the dash in leather also?

[OARNGESI]

Nice wered you get the caps do you got a piece for the tailgate too

[atp]

Finishing up some odd and ends today - thought I would post some pics. Tank is installed and Fliter/Reg is in. New Oil Pressure sending unit is install with Autometer Adapter.

Hope to finish a few more today and get this thing cranked soon!

Clearance issue #...

Not sure if LS coil pack brackets are different but this inlet hits the coil!

[mike nutt]

adam ,

here's a picture for you.




looking good!!!!!!!

[68 short step]

the LS1 coil brackets tilt the coil forward at a angle.....what you can do is either get the correct coil bracket, or using a 3/8 tube bender tool, slightly bend it up/back enough to clear the coil...i forgot about that clearence problem when switching to a car intake...
mike nutt, could you give details to what you've done? i see you have a AN ftng off the FPR, are those stock rails?

[atp]

Problem solved! Thanks Mike.

I was also able to get the gas pedal in. Cool thing about this one is it is from a truck with adjustable pedals. I was able to remove the cable that adjusted it and it can be adjusted with a screwdriver. It can move back or forward an inch or so.

Im getting closer to cranking this thing!

[mcbassin]

Looking good! Keep it up!

Nice progress. So how much does the asking price jump when it runs for the first time

Not too much - just hope it helps it sell!

Stuck the carpet in temporarily to see how far it would go up on the firewall and check a few clearances. Color actually matches really well to not be a true custom cut carpet. I did go with the newer looking pile verses the older loop style.

I have a buddy interested in your blazer. what is the asking price?

[atp]

Made some more progress today. Mostly just finished up some odd and ends.

I was able to finish the filler neck - turned out pretty good.

I taped up a few wires and tightened up the started so I could install the the header for the last time.

I painted the support bar we added to gain a little more clearance for the rearend housing. I painted it with the upol raptor liner to match the underside. You won't see it from the top.

Also finished mounting the air compressor, tanks, finished wiring the all the air ride components and tidy up some existing wiring (not pic'd)

The the last pic is a warning - While vigorously shaking the upol can per the directions - the top might bust and throw stuff everywhere. I was very lucky it was only my hand, shirt and floor - it was inches from being all over the Blazer!

[Hart_Rod]

Looks good! You'll be riding in no time....

[mcbassin]

Nice looking hand paint job! good progress too!

[atp]

Little more progress - I should be able to start this thing REAL soon!!

Tranny cooler and lines - done
Tranny dipstick and oil dipstick - done

[atp]

Get them started early!

New headlights ready for install.

And I decided to upgrade the front shock waves to the new version with the built in height sensor. I didn't like the way the external sensor was going to look on the front suspension.

looks really good, good call on the front shockwaves....whats your boy putting together, those arnt the 16" rotors are they?
