looks AWSOME props man!!

 

It's the 3300. You can pair your phone with it and dial from the touch screen. Here's where I have my mic.

 

Ah. I almost got the bluetooth when I got mine. But I didn't have enough money. I like the creative mic placement

 

Yeah I love it. The bluetooth is utterly useless unless you buy the thing that fools the radio into thinking the e-brake is engaged.

 

Oh yeah. I wired that up myself with an old horn relay so the amp power wire switches on the relay and grounds the stereo. Works like a charm.

 

Nice ride! I've seen you over on S10forum before. How did you get the brazil taillights?

 

so much love/hate for you right now. i've been looking for a zq8 ever since i test drove one at a dealership 6 years ago.

truck looks great, love the v8 swap with manual. keep it up man

 

Well I got it running last night. It needed new spider injectors. Now it needs some more misc things done and it's ready for the road!

Thanks. A guy had bought them, sold his blazer before he installed them, and sold them to me for $100 shipped. Originally cost like $250.

haha. All the ZQ8 Blazers have different than the regular ones is 1.5" coils/leafs and they MIGHT have the quick ratio steering. The only Blazer with the ZQ8 option that I'm aware of is the Xtreme's. Personally if you wanted the look of a Blazer with a ZQ8 package I'd get 2" DJM coils, Belltech SP shocks, pull a leaf out back, 2" angled blocks, and Belltech SP shocks out back. You also have to take into consideration that the 2nd gen Blazers sit up off the frame ~1" higher than the S10's so if you wanted the look of a S10 ZQ8 package you'd need to drop it another inch all around.

 

yeah but i was looking for it all from factory with the manual trans. i looked into the drop and everything for my 2 door but never had the time or disposable income until now and the truck was not practical.


good luck though man, i'll be watching

 

Yeah they're hard to find like this from the factory. I've only seen two blue ones with a 5speed.

So here's where I'm at as of today. I had to pull the engine 1/2 way back out and replace the oil pan and gasket. SOMEHOW the pan flange had bent causing a leak.


So with that done it's bolted back up and running, still not timed perfectly, but I'm pretty sure that's because it needs a crank relearn, camshaft position sensor retard offset, and I have a bad exhaust leak from where I welded up the exhaust real quick because it was too loud in the garage.

This fixed the p0300


Socks


Radiator support, fender, and a bunch of misc things back on.
