Congrat's on the garage, they are never big enough so make sure you build it so you can add on later. Making it tall enough for a lift later on is not that much more than standard height. I just love spending your money!
It's been too long. I need to come see you!

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Come on over, I am here most of the time. Finishing up my Vega wagon for the HotRod Power Tour in June. Still lots to do.

I wanted to make a half cab that you could remove and fit under a cover in the back.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I guess I better get this rig going. My wife says the only way I can keep all these classic vehicles is to let her use this as her daily driver. This was going to be my hotrod 383 4 speed Muncie posi sleeper. I guess it may turn out to stay the way it is... I still need to find a dang hood though. I had a few deals but they always fall thru.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Well this thing may yet again take another turn. I just picked up a 1999 Trans Am with a 5.7 LS1 and a T56 6 Speed. So that and a 3.73 posi could be a blast. I found a free hood but it will need some work of course. What's a little work?

Sounds like a fun ride!

I am in the middle of putting a warmed over 5.3 in the Blazer. Along with a new wiring Ron Francis harness. I have installed quite a few wiring harnesses but none as nice as this one!

Drop by sometime!

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Ron Francis wiring harness I got along with a bunch of other stuff years ago and just now using it.
I am using a FiTech port injected system for the 5.3.
I sold the Jimmy.
58 Belair?

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Yeah a 58 Bel Air My mom just up and gave me. 348 2 speed powerglide. Real nice car. Just got a new fuel tank for it as the old one is full of "something". Drove the 1999 Trans Am Donor home last night. 5.7 T56 Six speed. Should be a bunch of fun til I put the drive train in the Blazer.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

OK. So I have a new job. Goodbye Lowe's! I bought a new house and had to fix up the old one to sell and now the Blazer will have yet another place to go. I am still going to strip the TA for the drive train but I may drive the blazer around a while to get a baseline for the performance upgrade. That and I just want to drive the darn thing. I am trying to sell the dbl wall top and I thought it would go fast but I have only one taker and he is in Miami and taking his sweet time to come get this thing. UGH! I know this thread is called No Daggum Money but I think I have some now. I just don't want to part with it. HAHA!

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I parted out the Trans Am and sold the body. That means I have paid $700 for the 5.7 and T56 with the harness and other related goodies taken from the TA. Not a bad deal. They have 156,000 miles on them and I drove the car around for a while so no ticking from the engine and decent power. LOVE the 6 spd! I got the ICT motor mounts the other day and have began tinkering with the engine getting it ready to drop in the Blazer. I plan on working the harness myself and tuning this myself as well. Once it is running I plan on a cam and heads. We shall see. Pics on the way.

I got the new motor mounts in the other day and am wondering what you guys put on the threads for them. Loc-tite Blue?

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Ok so the 307CI and 4 spd Saginaw finally sold for $660. So that means I have $40 that's right $40 into an LS1 and T56. Super budget! Now for the Nickel and diming! Turns out every part I want is $300 ! Shoot man. The engine is sitting in the truck now and I should have cleaned it better but I had to get it out of the bed of my 4x4 so I could drive it. What's a decent budget header for this Blazer? My F body manifolds don't fit on the passenger side.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I think I am going to take the low hump out of my 4x4 (after I take the body lift kit off) and swap the high hump back into it and out the low hump in the Blazer. Not sure about the position of the shifter yet. Somewhere I saw a kit to bring it forward a couple inches but I thought I might try it this way for a while. Obviously I am in no big hurry. I am ironing out my first standalone conversion wiring harness and am most likely going to use the stock relay/fuse blocks from the Trans Am. That way I have stock components and positions for replacement and it is all free including relays and fans etc.

The 2010 Camaro exhaust manifolds work fine in my Blazer. What does it hit?
I finished my C50 finally.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Well there you are. That is one fine machine. They hit the motor stand on the passenger side. Doesn't matter too much as I sold them already. They were 1999 Trans Am manifolds. I am thinking the headers for that same car might fit and be cheaper than the Speed Engineering headers but I could be wrong. Your trucks are getting very nice. I am jealous!

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I ended up going with Speed Engineering long tubes as wifey said I could blow a little dough and reviews said they would fit. I also found a new Sanden SD7 for $100 delivered. I am wondering which bracket to get to install it though. LSX Innovations has a nice looking one piece bracket that I like. Some reviews of the ICT multi piece say they think it flexes under loads.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Well crud. The passenger side hits the flippen frame. I should have listened. I don't think it will take much to make it work. AH well. The pipes on these headers look so much bigger than I remember my Hooker Super Comps to have been. I am glad I did not get the 1 7/8". These are the 1 3/4".

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I "massaged" my frame to make the passenger header fit. The driver side bolts up fine and does not hit that "nub" on the block. I can now tell how long my O2 sensor wires need to be so I can button up the wire harness. Couple questions if anyone is out there.
1. Can I reuse stock mutli layer manifold gaskets for the headers?
2. I am using the stock F-body fuse and relay blocks. It seems one of them uses a large relay to turn on all the Positive wires going through the fuses. It is triggered by a Negative. Is there a terminal on the computer (1999) that I can use for this purpose?

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Ok so - I bought a 6.0L most likely an LQ9 from what I can tell. This thing was dirt cheap. And I mean DIRT cheap. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't. I can barely turn it over by hand with the plugs in it. The guy said it had 170,000 miles. The plug look like they are right out of the box. He said it was a 1998 5.3. I got it home and saw the 6.0 on the spotless back of the engine. There is no timing cover or valve covers or oil pan or valley cover or intake or sensors. A replacement crate motor was installed and this was left over. The timing chain has just a smidge of slack. It has 317 heads and he gave me the air box and engine covers (VORTEC MAX). The air box says 2006 6.0L. I did not think to check til I got home. SO - what to do with it? Pull the 5.7L? Will all the parts interchange? Is this thing going to nickel and dime me to death?

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

So I started a new thread for the 6.0. Back burner build while I wait for parts for this Blazer. Also replacing some worn Gaskets on my other truck with some new fangle silicone type stuff. I figure the oil pan is silicone and it is still sealed up good even after the accident so why not.
I ordered a new transmission X member for the T56 as my old one was just cobbled together and was ok for the Saginaw but I am going to pound on this T56 pretty hard so I though it was good money spent. It was only $100 shipped and looks pretty stout. I know this build (if I can call it that) is taking it's sweet time, But I am not giving up yet.

Here is the X member. More pics in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...75#post8783175

It slipped in nicely and fits great. Exhaust should be fine as well. The driveline seems about in the right place without the spacer. I will post final installation pics when the day comes.
