Default Auto cross blazer?

Wondering if anyone here has converted a blazer to an auto cross race truck? If so, what mods are required and what would I be looking at? I'm thinking a 2wd 4.3 vrotec lowered w/ some fat short tires would be b!tchn.

S10V8.com has some topics. I have seen some 4cyl short bed trucks do well in autox. What I have found is that the factory has screwed up the front suspension enough so you wont drive it over your head. The front is designed with a positive camber gain and non level lower contron arms; all screwey. Then guys raise the trucks, make it worse and complain of stuff going wrong.
Search: roll center and bump steer in you tube. There is a good demo on a radio control car. Also SC&C.com has some faq. Keep in touch.
