Hey it works here,,,,how about that...

Firebirdjones · 11-27-2011, 12:10 PM

Well if it helps you out Nate, I can shoot you pics via email if you like.
Do you remember exactly what it is you wanted to see?

72BlckButy · 11-27-2011, 12:15 PM

I'll PM you my email and I'll upload whatever pics you have to this thread as it was a great reference for those of us considering an LS install, not to mention a 6.0.

Firebirdjones · 11-27-2011, 12:17 PM

That's cool. I'll read through it again and see if I can figure out what pics I had in here. I know the cross member issue was one of them.

That would be awesome, really pissed I didn't see this thread before the pics disappeared.

72BlckButy · 11-29-2011, 03:11 PM

Sorry for the delay guys... I received the pics and will get them up when time allows.

Firebirdjones · 11-29-2011, 07:58 PM

Nate was kind enough to offer some help. Since I think I've figured out how to link directly to the site without photobucket, I should be able to attach all the pics.

My only issue right now is that the pics are on a thumb drive, and I'm having a little difficulty using the browser below to find my thumbdrive. The pic I attached directly here earlier was from the C drive off the computer.

If I can figure that out, and get the thumb drive attachments to work, I can add the pics to the appropriate descriptions....I need a little time, to pull what little hair out I have left

72BlckButy · 11-30-2011, 03:39 PM

Got ya covered buddy.

There are in no specific order, and I think I forgot to forward an email so I'm short possibly 4 or 5 pics.

Wow Nate, thanks a bunch.

I had to go bid on a job so I wasn't able to do it this morning. But I plan to mess around with it tonight and see if I can edit some of my posts.

Thanks again

72BlckButy · 11-30-2011, 03:53 PM

Any time.

Like I said... I might have missed an email but if so, I'll add those pics tomorrow.

Beautiful project and what a great blazer to start with.

Firebirdjones · 11-30-2011, 11:28 PM

Well, I was going to try and edit some of those posts and add some pics, but it seems the "edit post" option isn't there.

Does that go away after so long?

Edit: Well it must, because this post I just posted says "edit" but the others don't.

72BlckButy · 12-01-2011, 08:40 AM

If you want to tell me which pics go with which post # I will edit your posts and add the pics for you.

conman585 · 12-01-2011, 11:59 AM

Awesome build. Any more pics (of anything involving this swap) would be awesome.

If you wouldn't mind? You've done alot already...

Let me read it again and I'll see if I can explain it.

Firebirdjones · 12-01-2011, 12:18 PM

#1) Not sure what pics I put in there..

#10) in order from top to bottom...
Shot of engine compartment completely empty
3 pics of the oil and temperature sending unit showing the tap/die etc..
Engine picture with crossmember attached
Engine bay with cross member sitting in the frame and trans installed

#11) Shot of custom engine harness
Another engine bay pic with engine installed showing battery moved and fabbing up things.

#14) Shot of engine in truck nearly complete showing the upper hose discussing the steam line
A side shot showing the sanden compressor and brackets from Qwik Performance.

That's pretty much the important stuff.

I can post other pics, from here on out I'll link directly to the board so there aren't any issues. Luckily Nate bailed me out, I was in a pickle there

What do you want to see?

conman585 · 12-01-2011, 01:54 PM

[QUOTE=Firebirdjones;What do you want to see?[/QUOTE]

1.) How/where your harness is mounted,
2.) Close-up of the steam line connection you made.

Thanks

Firebirdjones · 12-01-2011, 02:02 PM

I'll look and see if I have pics of those. If not, I know I can take one of the steam line easy enough.
As for the harness, it's hidden behind the engine. I mounted the computer under the dash near the glove box and the main portion of the harness goes through the transmission tunnel (firewall) area, it's up high, comes out at about where the transmission meets the block behind the passenger side cylinder head.
The rest of the harness for the drive by wire throttle and cruise control, as well as the circuit breakers and fuse panel is simply hidden under the dash.

Give me a little time and I'll get something up.

conman585 · 12-01-2011, 02:19 PM

No rush. You're the man

72BlckButy · 12-01-2011, 02:48 PM

I'll work on adding the pics to the first page, just might take a day or two.

Hey.. would you mind helping out a fellow board member. Check out his inquiry here:

Firebirdjones · 12-03-2011, 03:12 PM

Here ya go Conman. Sorry for the delay. I searched around and couldn't find a decent shot of it so I just went out and snapped one. Would have just been quicker that way to start with

Firebirdjones · 12-03-2011, 04:24 PM

I'll have the blazer up on the rack Monday for some new mufflers, I'll see if I can snap a picture from the bottom side up of the wire harness coming through the firewall.

I can't see it from the top (with the hood on) can't get my fat head back there. Not even sure you can see it from the bottom, but I'll try.
