Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
I did find out for sure (according to GM's LS1 swap kit guide) that they are 1/4"-20 threaded inserts for the linkage bracket.

The Lokar bracket is on, just had to drill the housing out a little. Tapped in with a brass hammer and good to go! Finished putting the front clip back on. Painted the core support and mounted my radiator and getting my Dual fan shroud worked out. Weather is has been touch and go here, had 3" snow Saturday. Today its 60* now! Crazy! Working out my Cold air intake, have to cut and TIG weld it back together. The laundry list is getting shorter. Wish I wasn't self employed at times. Hard on free time! Just lost my Fiance of 3yrs, Guess she didn't Like the life either! Work hard, and sometimes I guess forget to stop and smell the Rose's! Justin |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
Weather here strait it self out, I might get some work done! But I did start wiring the chassis and dash this week. The Game Sunday kinda slowed progress! Go Saints! Took a bet with bunch of friends. I won $300 bones! Put that into the slush S-10 fund!
Dropped off my trans for a rebuild this morning. Getting a little closer. Justin Last edited by augie; 02-10-2010 at 03:52 PM. Reason: WTB by nonsub |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
Hey, thats looking pretty good. I've been building a 91 s10 ext cab 4x4 for my son, and he wants to put a 350 into. I'm not sure how well that will go, not sure if we'd have to change drivetrain or not. I like the looks of the 5.3L in there.

Building the Aluminum Panel tonight and adding extra panel mounts to stock bezel. Should look great! |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
That turned out nice. Does your blazer have the brushed trim? I didn't think it looked bad on the wood.

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
Sorry on hearing about your loss, I wife who is my ex wife now use to get really pissed at me when I worked to much. I picked up a 91 suburban a few weeks ago and now have a nice 350tbi for my sons s10.
Trucks looking good, keep it up |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
It happens, better to find out now than later ( No KIDS) but still bad never the less.
Thats cool you have a complete donor truck, that will help alot with the swap. Finished the front clip this week. Ready to wire everything! If my plans don't change over the weekend, should have a buddy there to help with the harness! Thats if I have enough beer there! Justin Almost forgot what this P.O.S. Looked like back together!

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
3200 stall. 9.5" Nitrous Bullet hub, Converter.
I have had all these parts, but didn't have the time to do anything! Business first then play I guess! Thankful that I have the Lift. Made it easy installing the trans by yourself. Plumbing is next and odds and ends. Last edited by Butcherboy; 04-14-2010 at 02:45 PM. |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
More parts installed. Bought me a 8.8 Ford rear, disc brakes, 4.10's limited slip. Heck for $100 bones, I couldn't pass it up! Might sell my 9" now, Need to order the rims with the correct offset!
Rolled the truck out my shop for the 1st time in over a year! Cool seeing it the Sun light again! But I hate the stance, too high! Need to get some drop spindles and figure out how I'm going to drop the rear end. Attack Shop puppy Sammy Girl! Justin |

Re: The 5.3 Blazer build
I thought it was four wheel drive. Haha It must be a good feeling to have it out of the shop.

2"Beltech drop spindles, Ground Force 3"drop coils, and the local Axle & Spring shop built me some new 3" drop springs. No de-arched used. New leafs. They did that for $180. Helps I know the owner well. Now it looks better. Not so much like a 4X4 Damien! Justin |
