I can only assume that this is a mud bogger project. Because I don't think I wouyld want to put up with that engine in a crawler or trail rig. Looks good though... keep up the good work!

fired it up yet? any video? I bet it's loud. :D

ok i know its been a while since i have updated,

the reason for that is i have shop every 2nd day thru out the weekdays,

so i don't have much time a day to work on it,

here is what we got so far,

the blazer is HORRIBLE to work on,

in my experience with it this is not a vehicle to be a wrench project xP

i had to disconect the exhaust manifold, oil pump and the steering column just to get 1 bolt for the oil pan.

we got it all out, put back together and time to put in the new engine, that doesnt quite fit yet!

 

 

engine out

 

 

put back together :D

 

 

time for the new engine

first we tried just using an engine hoist

 

 

then we used this nifty device from princess auto for about $13

 

 

and this is how close we came before it was time to end the day

 

 

so next update will be when the engine is in, pics of my custom engine mounts, and ill have a video of it running,

once that is done, we will be lifting it :D about....

3 feet!!

 

more to come,

what you think?

The engineer(s) that designed the S10 was a mechanical sadist. This from a guy,me, that just replaced a 700R in a '87 4wd and looking forward to replacing the clutch in a '89. :fs1:
