Upgrades are getting cheaper...
Have you guys noticed how cheap later model Suburbans have gotten? Pretty tempting to do a complete drivetrain upgrade and get FI, overdrive and nice seats all in one swoop... By the time you part out the rest and sell the original Blazer parts, it might be a wash. I keep thinking that when the price of gas goes back to $4+ that 10 mpg is going to be pretty hard to deal with.
The most tempting I saw recently was a 4x4 7.4 auto with black leather and nice wheels/tires that was going for $2500. If my truck wasn't running so good right now, I'd have probably pulled the trigger....

Re: Upgrades are getting cheaper...
I hear ya'. I'm always looking for a deal just because. Look around for a lower mileage '91 3/4 ton and you can get 8 lug axles to go with the FI motor. Not sure if you could get a big block, but you can definitey get a deal! I bought an '86 3/4 ton Sub with a broken motor, but it was loaded. Tow package, Silverado, all 3 seats, front buckets, cargo doors. Good TH400 and NP208 for the princely sum of $300. And it came with a Holley carb, 2 1/2" Magnaflow mufflers, a Performer intake and a CD player!

Re: Upgrades are getting cheaper...
I believe it, based on your sig. Looks like you've found quite a few...
