Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
This is where I sound like a dumb foreigner but can someone explain what the deal with Yenko is? I'm assuming it was some aftermarket tuner/builder.

Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
PA folks do it right
![]() What they said above. He was a dealer in southwestern Pennsylvania who put together some wild combination muscle cars. He did an LS7 454 rebuild for me on an engine i used in my 58 Chevy.

Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
Thanks, an interesting read, we've had a few similar guys/companies here over the years, most seemed to end up getting screwed over by the manufacturers when they realised that there was a market for that kind of car and started to make them officially.

Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
Been 4 months since my last update, still chasing down issues like
wiring, cables, leaks, etc ..... Only thing new is that I pre-ordered one of those Smoothie front bumpers through Tim at Top Banana. (This summer was so stinking hot that I just didn't get much done) EDIT: Still no maiden voyage, maybe by end of October? ![]()

Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
Still on jack stands, don't even know where to begin,
almost traded her off last month but I backed out at the very last minute, maybe this Spring it will move? (I tried to save $ in 3 areas, all 3 bit me in the arse)

Re: Project: "Yenko C5 Blazer"
A little bit of Progress and a Name Change. I gave up on
the "Yenko C5 Blazer" and renamed it to "SQ VET" which stands for "Square Corvette". (A lot of stuff on it is Vet related and I changed my mind on the Exterior color to.) *If a Mod could change my thread title I'd appreciate it. Warning ~ These are Crummy arse Cell video's of My ride. ![]() ![]() ![]()
