There is a much simpler way to do the quad beam. However, by using a relay your Daytime running lights won't be affected.

Sorry I haven't posted here for a couple of days. I've been going to court a lot lately. I havent done much to the blazer. Mainly just putting gas in her and changed the oil. Found out she needs wheel bearings and a lower driver side ball joint and driver side rear brake hose. So I plan on replacing all the ball joints, wheel bearings and rear brake hoses.

Damn everyone that I saw was over $100.

So I've been tossing around the idea of getting a cheap gas getter car and doing a SFA swap. After lookin at Rex's build its getting to me more. I plan on using a waggy front and ford 8.8 rear. Need to look at more swaps with those axles first.

Well after some debating on what to do with the Blazer I finally figured out what I am going to do.
Plans-
V8 swap 5.7 vortec
SFA swap ( still don't know what axles I'm going to use)
Transfer case swap
Custom bumpers
Winch
35" tires
Custom beadlock wheels
Hid lights
Roof rack
2 door tire carrier

Default I have a 1994 GMC S-15 4x4 JIMMY ... Selling motor and tranny as a pair.

I have a 1994 GMC S-15 4x4 JIMMY ... Selling motor and tranny as a pair.

It's a 4.3L 6 cylinder Vortec motor with 107k+ miles.

THE VORTEC MOTOR CAME OUT IN 92 AND WAS UNCHANGED UNTILL 1995. HEADS ARE DIFFERENT AND THE INDUCTION SETUP IS DIFFERENT ITS CALLED CENTRAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (CMFI). IT HAD THE SILVER OR BLACK UPPER INTAKE THAT SAID VORTEC IN ORANGE LETTERS. THOSE WERE VIN W MOTORS.

1994 4.3 L Vortec 4300 (L35) V-6, SCPI 200 hp (150 kW) at 4,500 rpm 260 lb·ft (350 N·m) at 3,600 rpm W - motor

TRANSMISSION INFORMATION:
1992-95 4.3L CFI V6 vin W Vortec (early)
165-200hp @ 4400 rpm
235-260tq @ 3600 rpm
9.05:1 Compression
Hydraulic roller lifters
Balance Shaft

I inherited this truck in 2010 from my grandmother after she passed away. She only took it out of the garage 2x/year so the motor and trans are strong it's everything else that is nickel and diming me to death (hoses, rad, battery etc.) and I just can't keep up. I want the body to drop a bigger motor in for a mud truck in the next couple years to honor my grandmother.


Make me a reasonable offer! Located in NE PA
