Just Another 350 Swap

[350HULK]

Hey guys (and girls) this is my 86' 4x4 blazer that i've stuffed a 350 in.
everyone left my last forum so i had to convert to you guys
so heres some pics

started out...



then


custom stuffs






reverse opening hood thats opened too far in the pic



Gotta have wheels


Gettin closer


And finally the color its going


should look like this (plus the hood, vents etc)

[Project Dime]

looks good. u going to lower it and still have working 4WD?

[lee-mill]

do u have the exact color ur using, like the brand and model, cause thats a badass color

[350HULK]

ya ive talked to a guy he said he will lower it for me and the max he could lower it was 2" and it'll cost under 1000
in the last pic thats with a 2" drop on it.
and yes i already have the color i've already sprayed inside the doors and innner fenders
the color is viper snakeskin green pearl.
normally it comes in i cant remember what they said but some weird paint that only a couple places in town have the equipment to spray it but i got my guy to convert it into a simple base clear paint and it looked amazing on the door jams and inner fenders.
it was actually pretty funny cause i was looking at one of my fenders in the sunlight and a guy across the parking lot came over and had to ask what was the deal with the paint cause its pretty crazy.
oh and the guy that i get my paint from is from du pont.

[Project Dime]

thats kool man. keep us posted. i think this thing is going to turn on sweet.

[s10-den]

you got a number on the paint code?and welcome aboard...I hope we all dont run out on you too...lol

[The Griff]

looks good so far, are those fender vents off of a trans am?

[350HULK]

uh cant remember the code i'll check it out the next time i got to the shop
found a wicked page on the color tho pretty neato

http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-sr...t-oh-yeah.html

and ya the vents are off a trans am i used the T/A factory mounts and everything so the vents look factory on my truck rather than just molding them into the pannel which is much easier but less cool IMO

[firstgenon24s]

Looks good,reminds me of the gator colors under the hood,green orange and blue lol,and cant you just adjust the torsion keys and lower it yourself? thats what me and a friend found out right before i got rid of my old 87 4x4

[350HULK]

well ya its do-able but to be honest i have very minimal mechanical experience but im good body man
so today my truck went in to the mechanics shop next door and they are going to get it running for me and all the good stuff cause once thats done i can do the body work with my eyes closed
and i just dont have the know how to lower

[350HULK]

automatic shifter i installed from a 00 blazer


Phantom grille that was very over priced

got clear markers and signals.
new front fenders, new doors, new quarter pannels, new engine, new transmission, new transfer case, new hood, new wheels.
pretty much the only things stock on it is most of the interior, and the rear dif

DUDE thats RAPE! You could go coilovers (front) for that kind of money. Rear is way simple Springs and blocks or for 2 inches just blocks. Seriously do a search and keep some coinage for other parts of your swap.

[Mystic_Knight]

I agree. Check with Beltech. They have lowering keys for the tortion bars and blocks for the back. It's a perfectly safe option, fairly easy to do, and should cost MUCH less than 1G.

[dvddhmn71]

belltech sells lowering kit for4x4 blazer for around 250 and very easy to install

+1... You can use a 2 inch block in the rear and prob loosen the torsen bar bolts and get a 2 inch drop all around. That would cost roughly 20 dollars for the blocks. Or you can bring it to me and ill drop the whole truck 2 inches for 500.

[350HULK]

haha k sweet
thanks for the info ya maybe i'll try it out myself see what i can do

but just to update, truck is out of the mechanic shop
has been for a while now but i had to fix some leaks and what not

plan on painting it next weekend
will keep you guys posted

[monkey03X]

[wanna_below]

[350HULK]

sry guys havent posted in sooo long

[heeter_33]

man i love that color, i know someone here that sprayed his srt10 ram in that color and it looks absolutely awesome! good choice

[draggindime072010]

i love this blazer it looks great would look really great laying frame. nice job with it lets see some lowered pics

[C-Bo]

Looking good! Surprised no one is hating on lowering the 4x4.. I am lower a 92 2dr 4x4 tahoe and everyone has negative input.

[350HULK]

lowered the front today looks pretty good
but yeah im surprised ppl dont comment much about the 4x4
but the trucks my first car has sentimental value and didnt wanna buy another one
cant get it as low as 2wd and is hella harder to do but its worth it

JESUS! your about to get ripped off. all the guy is going to do is uncrank the t-bars up front to lower it 2" which is a free lowering job, and the rear im sure all he is going to do is put 2"-4" blocks under the axle.... how did no one else catch this? $1,000 ? damn. it will cost you under $100 to do this.

[kookennay]

i really wanted to paint my 86 blazer that color now i wish i would have
