Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
The rears are from a 2009 Suburban, and the fronts are SECOND row seats from a 2012 Suburban.
Thanks buddy. Sits quite a bit differently than last time you and I set the body on. No surprises this time either. ![]()

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
I was looking at this on mine yesterday and it looks like I'll be in the same boat with my ITB stacks and the master, and may even need to recess the firewall for the number 6 stack.... So I am going to look into just moving the master to the frame under the floor and avoid the situation all together.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Yeah, I briefly considered switching to manual brakes to suck the MC back to the firewall another 6" or so....but the truck manifold will work great once i cut the flange off and weld and elbow to it

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Got the battery mounted last night. Should keep it tucked up out of the way in an area that would otherwise be wasted space.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Very nice sir! It appears we both need the same right rear section fixed (sexy dent). It gives real nice character but I think I should fix it. Hope mine turns out a fraction of how nice yours is.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
With the 5.3 I would assume your running the 1.10 a/r turbine housing for a quick spool? Either way VERY nice!

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Are you concerned at all about the lag? Seems like a huge turbo like that would take a lot to spin up.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Damn... that is a BIG turbo. I had to look twice at that first pic of it hanging in the engine bay; thought maybe it was photoshopped for a laugh.
You are going to have traction issues. lol |
