Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Bought it used from the same guy who sold us a minivan last year. The minivan still runs great to this day, so we trusted the guy to be selling us a good Blazer. We were wrong. The head gasket is shot and there is snot all over the valve covers. So the engine is getting replaced with another one as soon as we can do it. But up until the day we discovered the blown head gasket it ran and drove more or less fine.
Future Modifications:
In the works: Possible swap to a Ford 5.0 liter with a 5-speed manual, with the transfer case and rear axle coming out of the same truck the engine is coming from. A solid front axle will round out the package.
