I really like your light set up, you should get a pic with them all on at night sometime.

I really like the blacked out grill with the body color in between.

As for the next episode it's going to be a couple weeks cause we leave a week from tomorrow for Siesta Key for a week. I can't wait!! But for a hint of the next episode lets just say instead of vroom it goes VROOM and has 2 extra cylinders!! That will depend if its still available when I get back. But if it is it will be mine
I've been tossed up about doing a V8 swap. If the right engine comes along cheap, I'm sure the swap will be on! 400hp should be just right in a Blazer...

Thanks tajohn!
Yeah I've been searching for ever for a good motor at a good price. I found a guy that's about a 2 hour ride selling a 00' vortec out of a 1500 truck. He says its got about 125k on it and sent me a current video (that he said my name in so I know it's not an old video) of it running and it sounds good on a cell video lol! If he's still got it when I get back from vaca I'll prolly grab it. He's selling it complete oil pan to TB for $250obo! His truck was tboned so he's just trying to get rid of everything ASAP. I'll be taking the time to go thru the entire motor anyway so hopefully it will be a good platform to start with.

Side note, its lookin bad ***, the lights are killer, nice work.

Thanks Rich! I think I used about 4.5-5quarts in mine. there is still fluid left in the trans, torque converter, and cooler. I need to recheck mine again just to make sure its still full now that I have driven it about 100 miles.

Yeah its a steal that's for sure! If the guy still has it when I get back from vaca I will be jumping on it.
