Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap

After a few times wheeling / fishing, I noticed a few things I needed to change, so I have had the Blazer lying dormant. Finally I have started driving her again to work, since I don't want to stack up miles on the new ride.

The first thing I needed to tackle was the air intake / filter set up. A few times down rough roads it had fallen off. Since I like to rev it out an haul ass down dirt roads it needed to be taken care of.

Here is my attempt, with some metal scraps, intake piping I had laying around and a few bucks in ABS piping this is what I came up with. Not flashy, but this is a purpose build rig. I secured the filter to the inner fender where the washer bottle used to be, and the other support is secured to the existing holes in the alternator bracket.

After












Next up is installing my evap canister.
