I got the motor, trans, t-case, gas tank, new gas line all ran this weekend. Hopefully I will be able to button it all up tonight after work.

I got it started today, but I have to run a push button to start it since I kept the 95's interior wiring harness and it doesnt have the wiring for the clutch.
One problem tho, when I turn the key on the fuel pump relay clicks like 8 times and the injector pulses with it.

I switched the wiring in the dash with the wiring from the 97 and it runs perfect again.
So the only wiring that is left from the 95 is the wiring to the rear of the truck on the drivers side inside.
I will get some more pix up as soon as I figure out how to get my pix of the camera(other computer broke yesterday).

So I was comin home from work yesterday and all of a sudden it just died. Got it pushed home and went back to work(to get the scanner). It came up with a p1345, which some of you know is CKP and Cam sensors not communicating. I went and got a new distributor and still no go. Checked and was getting spark from the coil but not to the #1 wire. Needed new plug wires... still no go. Apperently someone desided to siphen(sp?) my gas and left me on E(gas gauge didnt work, beat on the gauge cluster and now it works). So now it runs like a champ again. Now time for a locking gas cap.
If you want pix go to my photo albume... https://blazerforum.com/forum/members/blazin97-142-albums-my-blazers-194/

I did a front end swap to my first 97 about 3yrs ago, its actually really easy. Im not really an xtreme fan(dont like the body kit).

I had to move the boat today and my rear only sagged like 1/2". I love it.
So heres some pix...

Still running good after ~1k miles. Had to change the exhaust because of how low she sits, my exhaust was on my rear sway bar. I still have to get the driveshaft shortened because it is bottoming out in the t-case.
