I have been building 1972 blazers on this site for a while and decided to do a square body!!! I have a 1986 chevy truck and going to install 2018 6.2 and 8 speed transmission and was looking for info on trans mount and motor mounts!

I've been considering doing something similar. Not to be rude, but what does a package like that go for?

twp1 · 09-02-2020, 03:53 PM

2018 6.2 with 8 speed complete with pedal assembly $4300.00. Here are some pic's of whats left!

twp1 · 09-02-2020, 03:54 PM

Had rear end completely redone with posi and 3:73 gears. Frame is getting powder coated! Will keep posting as i go along.

What injection setup is that? Plan to do something similar on my 67 540 Camaro but plan a CNP swap (coil near plug) also

Both projects are looking good

Au contraire mon frere. He coulda said it was his and we would have never known. Although building a ride of that caliber is something to be proud of.
