alright so i think this is what im going to do
put 1/3 of the can in the gas tank
1/3 in the engine
1/3 in the brake booster

let sit for 10 minutes then rev it up, drive it around for a while till all the smoke clears, change the oil and then its done

is this the right way??

1/3 in the fuel tank, 1/3 in the brake booster line (or any other that leads to the intake), and 1/3 in the oil during a fresh oil change. don't run it in the oil longer than 200 miles though, so drain the oil after that and the used oil will be blacker than satan's heart. then, switch to synthetic.

haha i've seen v8 swaps done and i've seen supercharged v6s beat them simply because they are lighter

alot cheaper, easier on your tranny and suspension.

Easier on your suspension, true I wont have your normal suspension though when I do my swap I will have a lsd in and independant rear supsension, all of which will be on air ride suspension built tough and by me so putting power to the ground and making it dependable wont be an issue LOL. Another thing it will all be brand new from chevy I wont mess with a junkyard when I do my swap!!

haha thats the way to go if you have the money i'm in school so money's pretty tight
i'm gonna be parking my blazer in the fall and buying a good old fuel efficient nip nap
going along with the top...
fixing any/all the rust on my truck and hopefully not have to paint the whole thing.
but if it doesn't have a body you can't drive it either

That is very true no body no driving!!! Yea I got lucky with my rear end I got it for 200 bucks and one of my fellow car club members is bringing it down to me next month I can't wait, I will do a full buildup of how to install an independent rear end in a blazer when I go to put mine in!!
