Hey! I'm not dead! ;-)

Update 3/10/2012 "Finger Tight"

Ok...So I haven't posted since July. Ya my bad. Been busy I guess.

Vacation in Belize, wedding anniversary, Holidays Holidays Holidays, started new hobby brewing my own beer (so fun!), running a 5k three times a week to keep the beer weight off

, hanging out with my Brother who joined the Marine corps about 1.5 years ago and JUST made it to Afghanistan on Monday...I miss him a lot.

I had to make an effort to get back into the Blazer game. WTF? I'm so glad to be back!

What's good is I know what needs to be done - throw $ at it!

Carb, Air cleaner (though I want to get a taller element...5 or 6"?), HEI, Fuel lines, fuel pump, Corvette manifolds, plugs and wires.

Here's some pics of progress...

Corvette Ram Horns with the "generator bracket" cut off. High temp (1700*) Paint drying here.

Manifold fitment. Corvette ram horns will fit on a 4x4 w/ a 700r4 with the engine shifted forward some 1.75"

Should flow well w/o the headaches of a header. Plug wire fitment is awesome.
