Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
The new rear end and trans seem to be working well.
Here's me and my buddy's turbocharged Viper from 40-130ish. In mexico, of course. ![]()

Mr. Turbo everything. I bet your Hotwheels had turbos. I will have to try to turbo something someday. Looks like a serious blast!

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Its an old 1986 Baja 200 sport with a 200hp Yamaha. Still does about 70 mph. My wife bought it for me. I wonder how fast it would go with triple turbos...:devil
I saw one of those turbo T types in the 80's at the Baylands Raceway up in California when I was a kid. It did a wheel stand and came back up half way down the track. Thing was ridiculous. It had a big "V6" on the side of it in graphics. My 66 Chevelle did an 11.5 in the quarter first time out and they sent me in to tech which said I had to have scattershields and fire extinguishers etc. So I didn't have any money for all that rollbar jazz so I never got to race again. I was not selling the car. Girlfriend wrecked it...

If only I could afford the $250,000 EACH for the Merc turbo motors.... ![]() ![]() Nope, not this year, unfortunately. There's been several years that HRPT has gone pretty much right past my work, and my house, but this year isn't one of them.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
WOW!!
Hey bud. I just bought my 72 Blazer 4x4 and have plans to LS swap it ASAP. I am not that far from you and I work in Peoria frequently. I would love to see this thing in person and maybe link up to pick your brain on some things as I go along. This Blazer is/will be my daily driver to replace my now sold WK2 Jeep SRT. I want it to have similar performance as the Jeep but with that old 70's Swag. Let me know if you would be open to letting me check this thing out. PM is fine and I could give you my number. I am in Oswego but my work area basically covers the whole state minus Cook and Lake counties. |
