Wow, Nice Job!
I see that the TBSS had E-Fans. Are there any more performance upgrades?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
What cold air intake does it have?
I was under the impression that you would need a different tune for that to work correct...
Do you know if it has the 160° thermostat?

I forgot, it does have the 160 deg thermostat. Its a Cold Air Inductions intake.

It had a PCM of NC tune on it, but I'm going with a stand alone system. Im new to LS conversions. I may need to have the preprogrammed tune modified once I get it running.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
So, what will happen with the ECM/TCM with the PCM of NC tune?
I was going to do exactly all of this in the spring...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
O.K. Just want for you to keep me in mind...
I am pretty sure that they would need to be keyed to my VIN anyways.
I am thinking about making my TBSS run good, then freshen it up for my '66 when the body & drivetrain begin to take a crap....Plus it will be a fun DD in the meantime!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Another great weekend is in the books. Somehow, it took two days for me to get the driver inner fender fabricated. I had to make a run to the local tractor supply to pick up a pair of trailer fenders so i had some wheel travel room up front. I also mocked up the grill.

All the fab work is done. I just finished up mounting the front and rear bumpers. I set my hood on there, and realized its totally fubared. Probably worse than my skills can repair. Anyhow, here are sone pics:
