It is an all aluminum LS1. 1999 Camaro SS.

Another weekend and got a little done!! I completed the front of the windsheild drip rail and it's ready for body work, the back is a different story. Found a few spots that will need some attention due to rust but overall I am still happy with the condition of this old Blazer. My brilliant idea Friday to build a body dolly went full circle and actually made it happen!! Came out pretty good, may be a little high so some tweeks will need to be made. I was really concerned about the front being so heavy that it might bend the body but after taking precautions it didn't budge!

I'm getting myself ready to do the 1999 5.3L LM7 swap any secrets you learned on the 1st truck.. send em my way. So far I have the 5.3 4l60 complete pull out with full computer and harness uncut.
seeing your 2wd blazer makes me hesitate to take the first step in my motor swap thinking what if I find a blazer to drop this into instead! . Then I look online see the high price per pound of rust that carries a blazer nameplate or that weird dual drives shaft thing I believe they call 4x4, I just sign off the computer and cry.

Are you still at that same shop I visited? Maybe I could stop by again one dsy and learn some more.

I'll post anything I learn to better everyone on here! There are a few threads on the subject of swap, but nothin beats good ole trial and error. And yes, we are at the same place where I built Slick and you are more than welcome to swing by!
