Hi everyone, posting the journey of this proyect, 92 s10 Blazer Nevada 3.1 v6

 

[alexgranich]

This is how started

Rebuilding the engine

After the rebuild

the engine was running very harsh, and the next day stop running, didnt start, so changed the fuel pump relay, fuel filter and at the end the pump, fresh gas and keep the fails, not was running smooth, so started a full tune up, changed the spark plugs, one was totally closed dont know how, spark plug wires, air filter, etc.
This reduces the fails and could drive it, but then started to die when gets the operation temperature, changed the radiator and put an oil cooler.

which one to choose?

 

[alexgranich]

the new trans fluid cooler, painted the base of the grill and changed the headlights.

Time to breaks job

 

[alexgranich]

The engine keep running no smooth at all, then changed all the pigtails and connectors, no changes, so bypassed the obd1 to read the codes, the tps sensor was bad, changed the iac valve and the coolant temperature sensor just in case, now the engine was running smooth.
I get some e-fans, a 5.7 tbi and a stock intake manifold to bore, port and polish, soon will post more.

Brakes look good.

 

[alexgranich]

I waited a lot for this shocks, bad shipping, wrong packages, etc. at the end I get the shocks, I think this was because the holidays, this are a speciality from AC Delco, some coments say this was trash some say there where good, Dont know what you think about it, would like to read your opinions, In my case I feel them better than the monroes that used to buy.

So, the truck was ready to made a little trip, but the 5th door was broke and could not open it, so I fixed, I noticed that the struts where bad too, only changed the key lock, im waiting for the struts, couldnt find them. the OEM have a little conecction in both sides.

with that door working I made a little trip of 6 hours to Rocky Point, wanted to try the car in all conditions, cold nights, warm days, rain, and over 45 miles per hour, the truck work great, didnt have any problem.

Next step is the audio, im looking for a tablet in dash stuff, figuring out how to do it, but the main thing is a bluetooth receiver conected to a amplifier / equalizer / sound processor dont know the configuration yet, and then to the speakers, controlling that from the tablet in dash, because I want a gps and that stuff without a lot of work or updating devices, is easier with a tablet, If some of you guys have some knowledge about sound and that crazy thing I want to do with the tablet in dash, please comment, I will appreciate a lot for sharing.
And sorry about my english is not my first lenguage.

If you pay attention to many of the supposedly native English speakers that post you’ll see you have nothing to apologize for Alex. I’ve never tried those shocks but if they work out for you then great. What are your plans for the location of the tablet you’re wanting to use?

Thanks, sometimes if hard because I do not have too much practice as I would like, but this Forums help me a lot, about the tablet im thinking in put a piece of metal where the stereo is suppose to be, with some magnets to attach the tablet, so it can be attachable and take it out when need it, down the stereo is the ash tray so doesnt matter if goes a little bit down the bezel, was thinking in make a fiber bezel and keep the tablet there but need to block the AC ducts over the stereo, so think the best is with the magnets.

Nice project. I’m partial to the red and white two tone paint.

I like your attention to detail with cleaning and painting everything as you go.

 

[alexgranich]

At the moment the plan is paint it black, with some details in red.

Im not very sure about black because im in desertic area but at the moment is the idea.
im planning in upgrade the rear end with a positive one from a 4x4, a msd coil, cables, off road front bumper, Jeep XJ fender flares, 3 inches exhaust, upgrade the tbi from a 5.7 lts, and electric fans
