Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Don't ask bagged74, ask his wife. She will give you the real story. From what I heard the VW spanked him good. His story was he went up in smoke, but I think he just got.....

His story might have been believeable were it not for the ever-so-slight roll of his significant-others eyes while he told his tale . . ......

Re: 72 2wd blazer build



Well, that kind of thing is pretty common in my other world (hi-po VWs).

It's pretty common nowadays for a street driven VW to run 11's and I know of one that runs in the nines. Of course his other aircooled 4 cylinder VW runs in the 6's at over 220mph!

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

it was an R32 GTi( all wheel drive for those who dont know), so traction was the deciding factor.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

Finally had a little time to work on the blazer. It started tearing the front suspension out at around 2:30. and had the Dropmember and Strongarms installed by about 8:00

I never get tired of seeing these things on the ground! Looks amazing... and can't wait to see it with the "real wheels"!

I may just have to get myself a blazer...

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

Oh sure, the forum gets "real" pics. All I get is crappy cell phone pics. Does this mean you don't love me any more?

Ooops, did I say that out loud....

Geez.

He doesn't even send you one with tires. I don't think he does love you anymore.

Ahhhh a thing of beauty! For some reason I seem to like the half-assembled mock-up pics the best... definitely my favorite part.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

I do use all of my notch, but mines only 6.5" not the full 8. It could definitely be done with a little crafty fabrication
