Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
get a hammer and a dolly. HF is good enough to start.. If you hit them together, it'll expand (stretch) your metal. if you hit them near each other, you can push the dent back up. Get this book- The Key to metal bumping. East wood has it, among others. A great starting point.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Thanks Guys!!

I only work on this rig on the weekends. The NFL playoffs have not helped with that the last two weekends, no not much progress has been made. I hope to get some time in this coming weekend.

Wow, Nice Job!
I see that the TBSS had E-Fans. Are there any more performance upgrades?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
What cold air intake does it have?
I was under the impression that you would need a different tune for that to work correct...
Do you know if it has the 160° thermostat?

I forgot, it does have the 160 deg thermostat. Its a Cold Air Inductions intake.

It had a PCM of NC tune on it, but I'm going with a stand alone system. Im new to LS conversions. I may need to have the preprogrammed tune modified once I get it running.
