Hey all, I've been lurking for a while, figured I'd finally make a post and say whats up. Name is Doug, hailing from the great Pacific NW. I have been doing customs for about 15 years now and out of habit, have been stuffing carbed small blocks into pretty much everything. Over the last few years, I have slowly come to see the ways of modern power plants. We stuffed an LT1 into a Mazda B2200 pickup (along with various other chassis and body mods), and the flat torque curve, throttle response and milage pretty much had me hooked...here are a couple pics...
For my personal project (if you couldnt tell, I like mini trucks...lol), I've been building an '85 S-10 blazer for the last 10 years or so, and it's been in various states of "done". Last round was full air suspension, body dropped and small blocked...almost ready for paint when I tore it down. Here's what she looked like..
As of now, it sits with a new frame from the firewall back, with a new body waiting. As of last night, I'm the proud owner of an '05 LQ4 with about 280k on the odometer. I picked it up complete with ecu, harness and all accessories. Plans are for rebuild, cam and decent tune, shooting for a reasonable 400+ hp.
Few shots of the new frame...
And the LQ4 waiting in the wings....
wow..that was a hell of a first post..lol
