New member here, hope to glean info needed for my Blazer as I do my best to maintain and improve it. Not going for show or anything just gonna be utility that looks good.
I have a lot of things I’d like to do to her, most of it has been done here I believe.
First will have to be drop the deezee boards and stop the little bit of rust before it’s an issue. The hood ornament and hood will go soon after with a cowl hood replacement. Going to need a proper receiver hitch also. Wheels and tires I want to get a set of stock GM 18” snowflakes with just boring old all seasons.
After that’s taken care of I have a few mechanical things to deal with while saving for a paint job. I’ll be doing rear disc swap and front upgrade with a hydro boost, not sure if I want to try and save the abs.I’d like to swap in a 4l80e but I haven’t done any research into what that entails. 350 is just going to be rebuilt to a 383 with some version of aftermarket FI. Actually would like a 3.0l Mercedes turbo diesel swap but that’s way way way out of my skills and abilities. With the engine and transmission I will have to figure out how to make the rest work w/o the stock computer.
The usual interior mods, keep the stock gray but newer front seats and headliner. Will need some new dash pieces the original is beat up. May switch to digital but I’ll make that decision if I ever get there. Sound system may or may not haha. Rest of the interior is in surprisingly great condition for the yrs and distance it has been through.
Gonna update as I go thanks for any help.
