got home pretty late today so i didnt get to do much. i finished painting the frame and the out wheel wells. i also had to put all my parts away because we are expecting some rain this week. it was getting dark when i finished the wheel wells so i didnt take any pics. i pretty sure they came out terrible. but the frame is done so i can drop the engine in and bolt it up this week. progress progress progress!!

so i took a little break from the truck for a few days. maily because of the weather plus i just been tired lately. but today i did a little bit of work. since the frame and everyhting was all cleaned up and painted. i figured id put it back together.









also decided to go ahead and start painting the acessories. did the water pump





also i was getting the part number off of my injectors for my pcm and this is what i found. how worried should i be? if it fell into the cylinder head/ how the hell do i get it out? and of it didnt do i have to replace it? im talking about the little black grommet missing from the injector

Is it not in the fuel injection hole? Either way, pull the intake and go get it. A piece of duct tape wadded up and taped on a stick can retrieve it.

nice always wanted a 2 door blazer/tahoe. Gonna put a 5.3 in a 91 awd olds bravada so ill keep track of how this swap goes

i checked but it wasnt there. ill try the sticky tape thing later today. what could go wrong if it fell down in the head?

yea ive had this one for about 2 years. been through a few transformations. went from a stock 5.7 to a stock 454 to a 385 stroker now the ls. i think this one will be the best. these trucks are fun. good lucjk with your build
