I'm still alive and still have the Blazer! Have some small updates to post. Been a busy summer with the kids, but I'm hoping to get it fired this winter. Wiring and coolant plumbing are the major items left to get it running!

Great job so far. I am just starting almost the same build. I look forward to your updates and I will probably coming to for questions.

Nice work. Just saw this thread and jumping aboard to learn more about LS swaps into K trucks. How is the clearance between the firewall and the heads?

I left my T-case in the stock position, used the Advanced Adapters kit to adapt to a 4l65e. I have about half an inch of clearance at the tightest spot on the firewall. It's just the corners of the heads. Any shorter combination of transmission and I think it would be right. Next clearance challenge is the oil pan to differential. I have worn out stock springs with an add-a-leaf and I probably only have 2 inches right now with the Dirty Dingo cross member. Will likely try to create more clearance by modifying the dirty Dingo cross member and putting a 2" lift in it. It's the cross member itself that would hit first.

More updates coming soon. Fuel system is done. Wiring and cooling systems now. Hoping to have it fired up soon!

Thank you for the details. I’ll stayed tuned. Am tempted by the retro LS motors assembled by Delmo speed shop or Don Hardy and these use adapters to accommodate stock style valve covers, which might contact the fire wall given the added height. Sliding forward sounds like would encroach further on the front diff with the DD xmember.
