Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
are you talking about motor and trans? There is a guy here that takes the factory harness and reworks it and also reprograms the computer and all i have to do is connect 3 wires and it runs.

Thanks. In your last blazer did you put the Pacific Fab crossmember in the factory location?

What part of Arkansas are you in? I'm originally from there but now live in north Louisiana. All my family basically lives from Arkadelphia to Benton.

I have a 1970 2wd that I'm wanting to do the same swap on. And I'm in need of a good body man.
