Thanks 7D2N

Your Blazer would have come with straight dump manifolds. I believe the correct casting for 1972 is 3989036

Thanks Jack B, the engine is not original to the blazer but 1970 block. I'll look for some straight down type.
thanks again, 7D2N

Engine is painted and on the run stand, cleaning up misc brackets and stuff. I'll need a few little things then I can start it up.

I could use some help or info if I may. I have my motor on the run stand and plan to start soon, question is should I fill the trans and transfer case with fluids until I put the engine in?
Thanks

I rounded up some straight down exhaust manifolds. I could use some help from you guys with stock AC. I have the brackets, compressor and some bolts but not sure of right placement.
Thanks

I finely got the AC brackets in the right place and now ready for start up and break in, just a little fuel and hope all is good.

I may have to rename the thread to (My many winters project) I'm getting things done slowly and a lot of boring stuff but I've found out that the phrase rebuilt means....do-over.
