So, I sold the GTO a while back. It mostly sat around and I didn't drive it much, so decided to let her go to someone who would actually drive it. I then used that money to pick up this 1991 K5 Blazer. Has a TBI 350 and a 4L60 trans, which is just a re-named 700R4, and both diff's have been rebuilt with 4.11:1 gears. Odometer has 283K on it,
Engine and trans were recently rebuild (previous owner had paperwork to prove it) I wish he wouldn't have had a shift kit installed in the trans, I'm not a big fan of it. Engine was rebuilt within stock specs. My plans down the line are to rebuild it again with aluminum heads, going to keep it TBI (as of right now anyway), I'd like to see around 300 horse and 350 torque. It had a 6'' lift and 35'' tires when I got it, and it rode horrible! Well, I found out why. All the front shocks (dual shocks) were blown, the rear shocks were missing bushings, and the shock mounts were loose! Also, the guy destroyed the door panels and hacked huge holes into them to mount speakers in the doors. I removed that crap, made a diamond plate filler, and installed some factory map bags that were missing as well. I relocated the speakers under the front seats and am really happy with the results.As I dug deeper into the Blazer, I found quite a few things wrong with it that the previous owner never told me about such as a cracked passenger side exhaust manifold, the radiator had a slow leak that I couldn't see, the trip odometer doesn't work, and a few nit-picky things here and there. I have a good list of things I want to get done to it. Currently It has a 2'' Rough Country lift and rides much smoother than the 6'' lift did, and I put on some Jegs 8 hole black wheels and some 33'' tires. I like it much better now. Here are some pics to show you what it looks like.
