Default New Guy from Michigan

hey guys im new here my name is Ryan, i live in michigan i own a 2005 gsxr 750 and a 2000 grand prix gt. im currently selling.trading my bike and a guy contacted me with an 85 s10/blazer with a 350 and a t-56 swap here is the info he sent me check it out and let me know if this is as sweet as i think it is? and my plan if i do get it is to possibly drop it some more, better wheels with good rubber and make it faster. im not planning on making it look ghetto or a Donk/lowrider lol


1985 Chevy s10 Blazer very solid and straight truck. I am the third owner and the truck was bought and kept in Florida up until about 3 years ago, I have the window sticker and paperwork. Paint is pretty good but it does have some fading, also has the 4'' cowl glass hood and wingless hinges on the back glass and a Belltech drop kit. Interior is in good shape and has power seats from a 2nd gen blazer as well as the overhead console. It has mechanical Autometer water temp and oil pressure gauges as well as Autometer 5'' tach with shift light. Motor is a 350 crate motor with about 15k on it. It has a small cam, Carter AFB 600, Edelbrock intake and valve covers, Headman long tube headers with 3'' collectors followed by daul 3'' exhaust to Flowmasters and dumps. Also has the good Trans Dapt motor mount plates and real v8 rubber mounts, these are what are on factory v8 vehicles there are not the baby 2.8 mounts.Has new Procomp electronic distributor with new Msd Blaster 2 coil and msd plug wires and Optima red top battery. Has new starter and braided throttle cable. As it says the tranny is a lt1 t56 six speed from a 95 Trans Am that had 75,000 miles on it. There are zero problems with it and makes the truck a blast to drive.Has new master and slave cylinders and the driveshaft was proffesionally shortened and balanced.

Well lets see here, the gsxr is worth around $6500.00. Your looking at a clean blazer with a 350 crate motor, low mileage. has quite some work done to it. some nice upgrades. he said the paint is fading, so it might need a paint job. I would also look at the small stuff, because to me that says a lot about a build. Like the interior, the carpet looks shot, and unfinished the radio dosent fit. looks like they just thru it in there. the shift **** looks like a last minute rush job. Under the hood, they didnt bother to clean up the wiring. its spliced and taped everywhere. looks like a big mess that was just thrown together. kind of worries me a bit about the build. My advise is to really look it over. top to bottom. def. look at the suspension. These trucks are prone to go thru ball joints. Really take some time to look it over before you decide to do anything.
