No buying a used rebuilt locally. The guy seems trustworthy and the motor looks in good shape, pulled the valve covers and when I get it will pull the pan too. Just can't spend the money to build the motor I had planned originally. Well the engine I'm getting has about 8K km on it, 30 over, edelbrock gear drive, rv cam, head work, balanced, all that good stuff, weiand intake and a 780cfm holley. $1100 which is about 1/4 the amount I would have spent to rebuild mine.

Hah nice plates. I'll be hated by the die hard chevy guys as I actually painted over the chevy orange that it was. You'll see once I am done with it, but it's basic. I think I am going to buy a different intake for it and powder coat it. I want to have it running as soon as possible, which could be within a couple weeks. I'm just waiting on some suspension parts to come in from summit. I would like to be able to drive it by May as well though. Then over the summer I will work on the body work. It needs a lot of work, but I want to be able to drive it first. I've had all the swap parts for months now though. So it's just a matter of putting it together.

I live in NC and the state gov't are trying to make it law that we have to put two plates on our cars. Until now it was optional, so naturally, everyone has one, LOL. I guess its gonna put the airbrush guy down the road out of buisness if it passes.
Anyway, do you need to move the transmission back to accomidate the v8?. Looks like you would have to do some frame mod. I was thinking about putting the 305 in my 2000 but it has so much stuff under the hood, and so much of it would have to be moved, I said screw it I'm keeping the 262.
BTW Congrats to perry on ROTM.

From what I can see, the transmission doesn't have to move... The motor mounts are adjustable, so you can slide the motor to where you need it... Supposedly works for 4x4 and 2wd...

I was planning on cutting out my front bumper where the plate goes to put a tranny cooler in there. I can't believe that I forgot I had to have a plate out front. Totally ruined my plans for mounting the cooler there, stupid laws.
Don't forget that when you slide/move the engine that it moves the tranny with it. You can mod the xmember to work by drilling out some of the holes. I'm waiting till I put in my motor before I build a custom xmember for the tranny.

im from edmonton alberta
if your anywhere near edmonton u can pretty much see my truck its that bright ;)
ya so from wat i understand is that there are basically 2 ways the engine can sit,
in the forward position which does not require any driveshaft customization, but creates very limited space infront of the engine for the engine driven fan.
or else the back position which requires a custom driveshaft, but gives you plenty of room infront of the engine for a fan.
personally im just going to see where the engine can sit comfortably and see how it goes :0
jason wat suspension parts are you getting from summit?
am i going to need some as well on my blazer?

Switch to an electric fan, and it should have lots of room...
I was in Edmonton back in Febuary for the Wolfmother concert...
It's only like 4 and a half hours away, lol

No you shouldn't need any different suspension pieces. I have my whole front end torn down. Powder coating the control arms, torsion bars, dust shields, knuckles, calipers, etc. I am waiting on new control arm bushings, ball joints, and a couple other little things. I would also think about maybe going with an electric fan. I picked up a taurus fan for like $40 and have it mounted in the forward position with a corvette rad. I plan on using it with an adjustable derale electric fan controller.
Couple of pics of my fan mounted here http://www.blazinjason.com/Sept.htm

an electric fan would do the trick?
in my stupid book they said it would over heat in the mildest weather
i actually dont trust the book very much at all
some of their stuff is a little off so ya
oh i was kind of curious to how hard it is to lower a 4x4
ive heard it was quite difficult but it is possible right?
