Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Nice! I said it before but I loved your response from a naysayer about you looking at it as an opportunity for success. I've had plenty who said my build would never come to fruition and absolutely loved the look on their face when I first drove by. Then the transfer case went south, found a np149 and is working like a charm. Can't say enough about your build, fantastic job.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Took a few pics tonight. I think i have the cooling system finally bled, so im going to take her out for a test drive tomorrow as long as the weather holds. I also installed the headliner last week while i was waiting on the motor. Its masonite hardboard. It turned out pretty good!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Small update: i spent the last two weeks redoing the under dash wiring to clean things up, made some carpet trim plates and a center console tray. Then I sprayed those in Raptor Liner like the floors. Installed my ipod player stereo. Threw the hood on, got the Vintage Air heat working. Ill get the A/C squared away in a few months. My biggest setback is that im still throwing the Check Engine code P0300 (multiple misfire). Im going to get some time schedule at the local tuning gurus dyno to see if he can better diagnose the issue, as im tires of just blindly throwing parts at this hoping it solves the problem.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
UPDATE: Soooo, I took the burb to the local dyno yesterday to work on tuning the few issues I had out. After about 5 pulls on the dyno, he felt like he had solved the problem. He got the burb off the rack and we took it our for a ride. As soon a we got out on the county road, the motor lunched itself and destroyed the #7 piston, scattering the remains all through the motor. Brand new motor, complete garbage.... Im currently in touch with the motor builder to see what he wants to do. I feel that it could have been sub par pistons installed, but we will see.
Im pulling the motor this weekend. More info to come....

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Looks great...Those little set backs are a pain but it is funny how easily you forget about them during the first few miles on that maiden voyage.
The interior looks great.. Marc
