86 blazer W/ 454 project rebuild
#31
this isnt my first project, just the first project like this. IE big block and lifted. it kind of fell in my lap.
Times are tuff, and i hope this think should be worth around 5,000 when i get the guages and steering issue fixed.

picked up a custom lower rad. hose, Such a PITA....
also got a power steering pump, pully, fuel filter, speedo cable, and went to U pull it and snagged a new cluster plastic speedo gauge, and blinker plastics...
tomorrow this beast should be driving...

new inline fuel fiter, power steering pump, pulley, return line, and i had to do a custom hi-pressure line. Huge props to Oil filter services for having the right coupler`s and hose.
Also got the rad. in and all hooked up put 3.5 gallons of anti freeze and i still have not even got to the top of the Rad. But the battery is dead..... so going to get a charger, and a new power steering belt.
should be running in the Am.

drove it around today, let it idle for 40 minutes and with the hills i have around my house, the highest temp i saw was 195*
YEA, it runs. cost me 31 bucks to insure it, now i wanna see if i can get it to pass emmisions with the 454 W/O cats.
i got the speed0 cable fixed and it was good for about 2 miles, but now it clicks really bad... drives me crazy. gonna get it cleaned up and get it on CL ASAP.

In Oregon it is 1975 and newer if you live in a county that has emissions.
