First was cross over steering, high steer and a ram which necessitated a ORD cross member under the engine which than had to have the oil pan changed to the Holly version of the F body LS pan. Last edited by kris; 01-30-2017 at 11:12 AM. |

I decided it needed more shifters on the floor so a winters shifter for the 400 was installed and a ORD Magnun box in front of the 205 gave me a low low Last edited by kris; 01-29-2017 at 11:42 PM. |

Baller came to Colorado and we ran Chinamans. I didn't have a spotter so this is the only picture not from the drivers seat and it was because I was stuck on the 14bolt. Last edited by kris; 01-30-2017 at 11:14 AM. |

that trip reminded me how bad a bench seat is for wheeling so I took my Mastercraft seats out of my old truck I also installed a winch that I got 10+ years ago and had not used and was able to fit it behind the bumper Last edited by kris; 01-29-2017 at 11:44 PM. |

Awesome rig! My first vehicle was a '78 Chevrolet Blazer, so I obviously have a soft spot for the ol' K5 |

I really like those blazers and especially those quad cabs. The ls are very capable and cheap to find as you mentioned. A 4L80E would go along nice with your trucks for the ease of cruising on the highway. A friend of mine did an lq9 with LS3 heads and a Texas speed cam and it is a beast compared to the old sbc. On the 8.1 you can use regular big block headers which is nice since they are easy to get. |
