82 Blazer
Hey whats up. Haven't posted much here before, mostly just looked and read up on all the good stuff here.
I have a 2wd 1982 Blazer. Currently I am rebuilding the motor and cleaning up the engine bay. Here is a picture of the truck and the motor I thought I would share. Thanks for looking.

Re: 82 Blazer
Sweet man! Love those skunk stripes. Hows about a few more pics...can't quite tell from the black color or the distance of the pic but it looks as if the front bumper is different? Frenched in?

Re: 82 Blazer
Thanks guys.
The front is a rollpan. I bought the truck years ago from a friend and I'm just starting to do my own things to it finally, the motor was first on the list of major things to do. Next I want to get rid of the stripes. I'll get some more pics for you soon. |

Re: 82 Blazer
Welcome. The blazer looks good. What part of LA you hail from?

Re: 82 Blazer
Thanks guys!
I live in Lafayette, LA. The interior is basically like the original. Seats are from a Mistubishi Eclipse, along with the mirrors. I'll get pictures of the inside sometime, its nothing fancy. I'm going put on CORRECT intake gaskets for Vortec intakes, haha. Now I can sleep tonight knowing it will be right! Quick question.... Anyone dealt with Advantage Fiberglass before? |

Re: 82 Blazer
Really nice blazer. What heads are those? I've never seen some like that with what looks like a 2 piece top?

Re: 82 Blazer
Vortecs. Easiest way to distinguish them is the 3 little triangle teeth looking things on the fronts.

Re: 82 Blazer
I guess you painted them to look like that or is that standard?

Re: 82 Blazer
The mirrors are mounted simple. The Eclipse mount just tack welded to the vent window support with a hole drilled at the bottom for a bolt to pass underneath the actual mirror.
Here is a picture...  And here is the only interior picture I have on this laptop.

Re: 82 Blazer
Heya. It's been a while since my last post on this thread, hope some of you are still interested.
I got the motor and transmission done, they are back in the truck and today was my first drive around the block. Seems to be running great! I only have 2 small problems... -Leaking oil sending unit fittings... When I first finished setting the motor up in the truck, I started it and noticed an oil leak coming from the rear, dripping onto the tranny and down on the ground. I had used the same sending unit as before and knew that they were known to leak if reused, so I replaced it. Trying to take the 45 fitting off, I cracked it. I replaced the fittings and still leaking today. I will attempt to pull all of that back out again and make the fitting outside the truck, this time with pipe dope NOT teflon tape. Second problem I have is the tranny... I think it just needs a bit more oil because it is picky when I try to put it in gears. Sometimes it goes, sometimes not. I re-adjusted my cable (B&M shifter), tried it again, seemed to work better. Then I tried again after it had cooled off and it took me 2-3 times to get it kicked into gear. Ran great going down the road other than a little smoke from that leaking unit. I definately need a power steering pump bracket! Thanks for reading. Any input will be helpful. Thanks! -Coty |
