That is a lot of motor for that little car. Should be awesome!

Was considering doing the BJ spacers too. Did you ever contact Airbaggit about the fitment?

Thanks TaJohns34, it's gonna be a really slow build but I'm really looking forward to getting the motor started and running.

TMM217, I did contact them, they asked me to send them a picture which I will be doing today, it sounds like they are willing to give me a refund which will helpful. Also the biggest thing for me is that they had serious rubbing issues on stock rims even with 1 inch wheel spacers on. I would suggest holding off on them unless you have 16 inch rims or bigger otherwise you may damage the rim or at a minimum have some really frustrating rubbing

Are you still running the wheel spacers? Do the back of the wheels have enough of an indent to allow the wheels to mount properly?

No I removed them because the wheel was rubbing pretty significantly and rather than messing with it I took them out because the blazer is now going to be used as a hauling vehicle while we work on the new Triumph project

I put the upgraded MPI injectors in to help stop any fuel leaks and hopefully regain some of the fuel economy I used to have. The engine works great....to great I somehow made it so it wont die.



after taking the video it took me about 15 minutes to check the connections and get it to run normally again.

looks great man! so just to confirm to your lift stuff here, you have an add a leaf in the rear with a 2" shackle and only a one inch ball joint spacer in the front??? I wouldn't mind doing something like that to mine!

I have the add-a-leaf and 2" shackle in the back and I took the front spacers out but I did have 1" spacers and a torsion bar crank. I would say the ball joint lift is worth it if you have larger rims that will not rub on the wheel hub.

Keep an eye on your upper a arm for cracking with the BJ spacers
