Cool!
I've not seen one in a 2wd blazer before. That should be cool!
I've got a Typhoon here that's stripped to the bone. It came cladding delete from the factory. I was thinking about putting it back to stock since they only made 5 of them that way but maby putting a buick in front of the AWD would be interesting?
Your's will be a blast being 2wd!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys:biggrin:
I put an lt4 starter on it today, works great. Too bad I noticed my homemade crossover leaks at the driver side header. Guess I have to monkey that that some more. Bled the brakes also after running over my vacuum cleaner pulling it in the garage last week Of coarse one wheels cylinder leaks.

Update. This weekend I biult some intercooler piping, permently installed the radiator and found some radiator hose that fit. I've done several other things that were'nt worth pictures like fix the brakes, install injectors and the repaired dfi (thanks norbs!). Anyway heres a couple of pics. I should have some more next week as i have a big box of parts waiting to install.
Almost forgot, it starts and runs now also.

I used factory regal 3.8 mounts. Just inverted them and swapped left to right and right left. If that makes sense kinda hard to explain.
The crossover is custom and runs behind the engine, I have some pics of it somewhere I'l try and post later.
Yes Im using DFI.
Doubt I'll make it, the trucks still not finished. Don't know if I'd ever go, driving cross country without overdrive doesnt sound like much fun and I dont own a trailerThat's cool as hell! That's going to be a sleeper. I alos like the Bravada Grill.
It would be cool if you could make it to the Bowling Green GS Nationals, I'd like to see that ride in person. Good luck with it.
Ive seen a few, there was one running around here in orlando a few years back. One was for sale awhile back on this board as an unfinished project.
Wow so the stock mounts worked? Ill have to try that. Im just getting started on my engine. I built a 2.8 for the truck to be a driver but alot has changed. Ive been working on it for a few years, were doing a frame off. Are the GS Nationals a buick thing. Yeah i live pretty far from there doubt id be going anytime.

Which crossmember? I modified my stock trans crossmember since Im using a th400.
I did cut my firewall for the downpipe. Kinda wishing I would'nt have now. If I did it again I would run the downpipe Under the frame rail, behind the control arm like how some v8 fenderwell headers are made.
the crossmember under the engine. I think he said he had trouble with the oil pan, but i dont think the 3.8 is any bigger than a 4.3. What about running the cross over in front of the engine like the syclones and typhoons? Is there any serious clearances issues in front?
My oil pan clears fine, I might be an issue when I build another motor and use a girdle.
I don't know how you would run the cross over in the front. The ports on the heads are'nt symetrical, so you cant just swap the manifolds from one side to the other. Even if you could it would put the turbo in the fire wall on the drivers side

I figured on having to weld up a set of headers to get it to work. I really hate to cut my firewall or floor pans at all becausei we put alot of time in it, we painted it to match the body. I'm running 17x8.5s in the front so fender well clearance might be an issue. Have you had your blazer at the track yet?
If it was me, I'd try and figure something else out other then make headers. Thats just more work then its worth, for me anyway.
No, its not finished yet.
Dunno How close I am really. I still need my turbo rebuilt and to get a drive shaft. I have a list of other stuff that still needs to be done before its drivable.
Heres an Inside shot.
