Damn looks like it could kick my trucks azz, that little inline five is definitely powerful, I bet after a pcm tune and you could possibly push it to 300. I'm not sure if your still running the factory pcm or if its already got a tune on it.

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

your truck is?
yes it runs pretty good. With the stock blazer rear end the one tire wouldn’t stop spinning. I welded up the diff to lock both tires and still had tire spin problems. But the tires are very old, literally date code says 14 years old. So old dry rotted adds to the spinning. But not to worry, it’s in the shop getting tubbed now.
factory pcm has been tuned, reprogrammed, trans pressures etc, equal length header, free flowing exhaust, and larger throttle body.

My truck in my sig, the motor is such a smogger its not even funny but i just got 10 inch rallys installed in the back and soon ill be finding a better power plant. With some fatter rubber i bet it would launch pretty good:metal:

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

it’s too easy and cheap nowadays to not put a sbc in there. You can get good MPGs and decent power, it’s a no brainer.

Yeah i knew a guy that was somehow able to shoehorn a lbz duramax in his 89 s10.. a shame that it got totaled:smoke:

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

cuts are being made!! woohoo!!

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

Cant wait to see the finished product:)

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

Got the rear cut out, and starting to get the final bit of trimming to get the axle width..
Will be working on the frame rails this weekend.
Truck might get air-ride in the future, so the pic with the wheel stuffed up in the fender well is to see the truck “laid out” and how high the frame needs to be, along with inner fender well trimming..

More pics to follow

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

I LIKE IT! I'm in. BTW your rendering earlier has the Name BALZER on the tailgate. Maybe you should call it that? IDK if anyone has mentioned it as I read kinda fast and was enjoying all the pics.
AND as stated before- Thank You for serving!

Re: 1985 S-Blazer in Az
 

Good looking truck. I had a 2wd 1986 blazer in high school. It was a good car, except for the 2.8L dog.
