Got it running and been driving it around. It is a Hugger Orange 1987 S10 Blazer with a few mods consisting of a bolt on fiberglass Harwood cowl hood, Eibach lowering kit, Lakewood traction bars, Heddman shorty headers with a 3 inch dual exhaust, Borla stainless mufflers and turndowns, 3:73's with a posi unit, a fresh turbo 350 with a hard shifting shift kit, a B&M Holeshot convertor, B&M ratchet shifter, a few custom interior touches such as an overhead console and a Grant steering wheel, Sony stereo system, and lastly the engine. It is a 1962 small journal 327 bored .030, stock polished rods, with L19 bolts, an .010/.010 steel crank, Cloyes double roller timing chain, a Comp Cams 268 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft. Up top is a set of 1969 441 300 horse 350 heads with 2.02/1.6 valves, an ancient Holley dual plane factory manifold, and a 600 Holley carb. It has a large aftermarket aluminum radiator that keeps the temps at 160 after a 25 mile cruise, and I used a 1989 Firebird serpentine belt set up for the accessories. The AC is functional...

Very very nice T!!!!!!

If I ever win the lottery I would have one just like it.
The color is one of my all time favorites!

Pretty cool T. Are you gunna street drive it ? Looks like a fun ride. You did good on that for sure.

Great Blazer, T! This is my first foray deep into the message board and I am blown away by you guys...excellent job! WC1

Thanks guys! And now for an update...

The local speed show was visited by me earlier this week. I ended up trading the 275 drag radials for some goodies straight across, I got a plug wire loom kit, a new set of lugnuts for the dime, and a set of Hankook 295 50 15's...

I have added a few missing interior pieces, need to update the pics one day. I also just acquired a 89 tpi camaro 700r4 tranny, going overdrive in it now. I got a cheapie stall convertor for it, and i have a lock up kit and a Fairbacks 2nd gear servo upgrade for it on the way...

Hey...that pic of the rear tire, from behind...do I see some kind of reverse lift block in there? Is that a lowering block in between the leaf spring and axle?

Yes it is, I am looking around for some lowering leafs to do away with those and drop the ride height to where i want it. The front is a Hotchkiss lowering kit, the rear has the blocks and some leafs removed from the springs, rear ride is kinda choppy on rough pavement, I want the new springs to give me the look and the ride...

I have the 700r4 tranny now, just waiting on a little warmer weather for the install. The tranny was recently built, out of a 1989 tpi Camaro. Motor went bad, I helped a friend pull the motor, he gave me the tranny. In the pic, I just finished a few upgrades. I installed the correct (hopefully) speedo gears to make the speedometer read correctly. I also installed a new tv cable that would work in a carbed apllication, a Fairbanks servo upgrade ,a one wire solenoid lock up conversion, and a fresh filter. I also have a new dipstick and a new convertor. So much for a 'free' tranny...

Looks great, T !
