Wow, Nice Job!
I see that the TBSS had E-Fans. Are there any more performance upgrades?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 
Just the fans and a cold air intake. Its pretty peppy as is...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 
What cold air intake does it have?
I was under the impression that you would need a different tune for that to work correct...
Do you know if it has the 160° thermostat?

I forgot, it does have the 160 deg thermostat. Its a Cold Air Inductions intake.

It had a PCM of NC tune on it, but I'm going with a stand alone system. Im new to LS conversions. I may need to have the preprogrammed tune modified once I get it running.

So, what will happen with the ECM/TCM with the PCM of NC tune?
I was going to do exactly all of this in the spring...

Im gonna hang onto them, just in case.

O.K. Just want for you to keep me in mind...
I am pretty sure that they would need to be keyed to my VIN anyways.
I am thinking about making my TBSS run good, then freshen it up for my '66 when the body & drivetrain begin to take a crap....Plus it will be a fun DD in the meantime!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 
Gotcha. You are first in line if i decide to sell the pcm/tcm.

I am almost speechless with this build.. You are a craftsman with this thing. Keep up the good work and I will be following this build!

My wife would kill me if I cut up her SS like that. But it gets me thinking....

Looking great.

Another great weekend is in the books. Somehow, it took two days for me to get the driver inner fender fabricated. I had to make a run to the local tractor supply to pick up a pair of trailer fenders so i had some wheel travel room up front. I also mocked up the grill.

All the fab work is done. I just finished up mounting the front and rear bumpers. I set my hood on there, and realized its totally fubared. Probably worse than my skills can repair. Anyhow, here are sone pics:
