My 88 came factory with 4.11s 2.5 with a 5 speed reg cab 2wd.

My blazer has factory 3.73s in it, 2.8 auto 4x4

I already posted the RPO codes for anything you could have ordered from GM. If you don't wanna believe it was an option I can't help it.

 

well it lives again..took us about 5 hours (lack of tools and goofin off lol)but it was not a bad job.stil have to run new break lines and swap the drums.might not even swap them.its just a beater anyway...but the 4x4 works hi and low so i'm pretty happy...thanks for all the help guys

 

Congrats, if you get interested in getting rid of all the brake stuff off that rearend give me a PM. Everybody around here wants an arm and leg for it.

 

glad to see you're mobile again. 5 hours? with "goofing off" time? that's not bad, you could've been fighting the whole time with stubourn rusty bolts, and end up pissed off by the end of it, good job.

first, it's not that i didn't believe you (well, i sorta didn't), it's just that i was on the mindset of talking about 4.3's. as soon as you mentoned the 2.5L with stick, i knew that would be the ratio of choice for the factory-'cause nothing else would get the truck rollin'. i had a friend in high school who was always bragging how his car came from the factory with 4.11's in it, but used to get royally pissed @ us when we bugged him they were in a Lada of all things! he still gets upset whenever it's brought up.

so my bad for sounding off like that neo. bet the little Dime would lay a (little) strip with ease, eh.

 

Its all good. The thing would light up the tires in 4 gears and bark the 5th. Prolly why I had 2 different 4 bangers in it before the v8 swap.

 

we did'nt even drop the leaf springs.thats prolly why it did'nt take long.i was thinking 5 hours was long...lol

 

it was, i was just being a smart ***. but that's all good, at least it's back together and running-without any extra parts lying around, right?!?

 

yeah its all together,no extra bolts or nuts.lol

 

wow 700.00 seems like a lot when you do the R@R
