Re: 76 Blazer LS swap
went ahead and installed a new heater core and evaporator so hopefully they don't have to be changed again. I will be using Hooker Blackheart swap headers and engine mounts on this build

Re: 76 Blazer LS swap
Very nice headers
Are you going to run the A/C system? How did you hook up the gas pedal? DBW or DBC ? What are you doing for the engine harness? Making your own fuel system in the tank?

Re: 76 Blazer LS swap
Which upper radiator hose did you use?
Who's radiator did you use? I am doing this conversion on my Suburban and I like your setup. Great job |

Re: 76 Blazer LS swap
And no one mentions the ridiculously clean garage? I'm jealous!
Do you have a part number for the trans cooler and mounts? Or is that the ail cooler sitting in front of the Condenser? Is this a US Forest service truck? I love what you are doing! |

Re: 76 Blazer LS swap
Love the build! Which brand of upper and lower radiator hoses are you using and what are those part numbers? Also, did you do any engine work such as a camshaft or ported heads? How are you liking the power? Is there anything you would have done differently?
Apologies for all of the questions, I just thought I would get them all out in one shot. |
