Some pictures of the new(to me) blazer...and a few of the project car.
It's a 1996 Chevy Blazer 2-dr LS 4x4, with 120,000 miles.
I got rid of the 2-dr tahoe for this, being it was wayyy to huge and non-economical.
I need to change the spark plugs, as the previous owner hasn't changed them in 5 years. Who knows when they were changed last.
It is getting about 14-15 miles per gallon. I think there is some room for improvement.
Either way, onto the pics.....
Let me know what you guys think.
Now to the project car....
1994 Ford Probe GT. Currently under the knife, getting some major engine modifications....
The black one is my fiancee's.

Thanks, I had it for abotu a week now, and already tinted the front two windows to match the factory windows. And polished it.
Currently thinking about different headlights/tail lights, and rims. But not sure yet.
I been looking around at other people's blazers on here and they look so awsomely clean. I hope to have mine look as good as some of these in the future.

Looks like you picked up a nice clean truck to work with.

Yea your truck looks a lot cleaner then when I picked up mine from the local dealer. He decided to bring his collie (dog) with him when he drove it around every day to see how it rides and the thing was just a freakin hair ball...took me min 2 hours to clean it all up.

Thanks guys.
Currently the spare tire is mounted on the inside against the drivers side rear 1/4 window. Is it possible to mount it under the truck its self?
So all in all was this blazer worth the $2,000 I got it for?
Technically I traded my 2 door tahoe for it, which I only had like 2k into it...

Your friend probably had the I4 SE probe. Mine is a GT with 2.5L V6. They do the 1/4 in mid to low 15s(which is ok I guess). One guy did the 1/4 in 14.9 seconds bone stock with just a KNN filter stuck on the end of the MAF.
As for my plans for the engine....
Megasquirt n' spark V3 standalone engine management unit
KLZE heads with swapped retainers
KLZE gutted custom intake manifold
spec stage 2 clutch + fidanza 9lb. flywheel
SS brake lines, and braided clutchline
forged pistons/rods
toga shimmed oil pump
T3/T04E turbocharger
Walbro 255 lph HP in tank fuel pump
millenia S injectors
phantom grip LSD-Or Mazdaspeed LSD
And Mike Seli High HP turbo regrind camshafts
---------------
Items already installed onto the motor
65mm throttle body
Hotshot headers
decarboned intake manifold(removed and chemically dipped, more for rescuing some lost power)
Jeff Jeske resognated test pipe
2.5" Pacesetter catback with pacesetter monza muffler
I'm just getting started with it though, I know I forgot some stuff but yeah, you get the point lol.
