79 2wd blazer

[will scratch]

here is a pic of the motor. for now I'm leaving the suspesion as is till the motor swap is complete and I hit the ground with it once or twice. oh ya I removed sway bar. thought this was a cool pic of what can happen to these mounts.
I have another cross member that I want to cut for it then put in some diffrent front springs for an inch or two more ground clearance.

thanks, I've seen alot of super great projects and information on this site and I know it don't look like much, but I'm gonna do what I can with it.
I'm gonna have to have some patience. You know I've got it bad with this ol turd stuffed in my little two car garage and barley room to move. We'll see how it goes this summer.
I really like the looks of these blazers and trucks for that matter. Story is that with the blazer I can fit in the wife and kids .
My real goal is to some how get her in the 12's. This little 355 my not be the answer but this is where it starts. Oh yea and I promise to put some effort toward a presentable paint job or at least primer.

If your reading this and have a real idea what the thing is gonna run go ahead and tell me.
A friend of mine that I help out with on his circle burner thinks I'll be lucky to get into the 14's.
Just forget to factor in how great of driver I am, probably should go pro.

Nice start. I like the blue on the engine too. I paint all my chevy blue too, not much of an orange fan....

For the sway bar brackets you can either bolt the mount right to the frame or pick up a set of lowered mounts for a 67-72 from somewhere like ECE. I have a set on my '78 and they bolted right up.
