Talking 1978 2wd Blazer

So I was looking at a 1978 2wd K5 Blazer about two weeks ago.

The PO bought it as a project, no motor or trans. He had a friend help with a motor swap that's supposed to be a 91 Camaro motor with new HEI, Edelbrock intake and carb. Has headers but no exhaust so I'm probably going swap for Ram Horn manifolds. No provision for a mechanical fuel pump. I'm leaning towards a factory EFI pump in the tank from a later model truck with a fuel pressure regulator in the engine bay. Was an AC truck that had all the engine bay AC parts removed. Supposed to have a rebuilt TH350. Someone covered it in flat black primer. New tires on 15" chrome smoothies. The plan is just clean it up and get it reliable....

Supposed to finalize the purchase on Thursday. I'll update with details and pictures.
