Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Are you doing anything special with the engine or just a rebuild?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
No, just a normal rebuild. Probably 30 over bore, but thats it. Hell, that thing was plenty fast enough for me when it was down on two cylinders!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Nice! I said it before but I loved your response from a naysayer about you looking at it as an opportunity for success. I've had plenty who said my build would never come to fruition and absolutely loved the look on their face when I first drove by. Then the transfer case went south, found a np149 and is working like a charm. Can't say enough about your build, fantastic job.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Took a few pics tonight. I think i have the cooling system finally bled, so im going to take her out for a test drive tomorrow as long as the weather holds. I also installed the headliner last week while i was waiting on the motor. Its masonite hardboard. It turned out pretty good!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Small update: i spent the last two weeks redoing the under dash wiring to clean things up, made some carpet trim plates and a center console tray. Then I sprayed those in Raptor Liner like the floors. Installed my ipod player stereo. Threw the hood on, got the Vintage Air heat working. Ill get the A/C squared away in a few months. My biggest setback is that im still throwing the Check Engine code P0300 (multiple misfire). Im going to get some time schedule at the local tuning gurus dyno to see if he can better diagnose the issue, as im tires of just blindly throwing parts at this hoping it solves the problem.

That thing looks so sharp! Hope they can dig out what you error code is coming from.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Looks great...Those little set backs are a pain but it is funny how easily you forget about them during the first few miles on that maiden voyage.
The interior looks great.. Marc

Really good to see you still at it.
The small refinements all add to your enjoyment in the end.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Burb is looking good! Here's an idea with your misfire code. I had that same code pop up on my Camaro and it ended up being hairline cracks in the porcelain of the spark plugs. I had recently installed headers on my car and did it without taking the plugs out and had, unknowingly, damaged a couple of them. I took them back out and inspected them and noticed the little cracks. It's worth a shot if you haven't checked them yet.
