here a couple pics of my starting point. not ready to start the swap, i still need every thing xthe engine tranny and the truck. i do have the engine out though. i dont want to sit the engine and tranny in until i have the harness. would it be to much of a hassell to put the harness on after the engine is already in?

what year is that engine??? i would set that in first then the harness
Good luck on the build and keep the updates and pics coming. Theres very useful info on this site. I did the same swap on my 79 blazer ,i now have a servo , cai , 4.10's , 22''s and a 93 nelson tune.
definitely set it in without the harness. The harness is very easy to install inside the truck plus you won't have to worry about damaging a brand new custom harness.
i'm done swapping my 454 in the c10, just waiting for my driveshaft to be done. so know i could start getting everything i need. i'm going to get the plates first thought so i can get the engine in already. hey 1 bad blazer what plates did you use, i'm planning on using the trans dapt 1'' foward so the compressor fits.
what part number is trans dapt forward plates???Quote:

never mind it 1'' back, i had been reading it wrong the whole time. it says it moves the mounts 1'' fowardQuote:
