ok finished pulling it out today. got to sit in the engine bay and do it. no too bad at all https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png anyway i think i found the leak but this rad is REALLY REALLY REALLY OLD.... lol... i'm probaly going to buy a new one because one of the outlets is cracked by the end tank, also a row of fins is missing. i went through the effort might as well buy a new radiator for it and not have to worry about it again https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png maybe turbovr6 and i can put in the holley and intake manifold since half of it's apart anyway https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Yeah.....this blazer is in for a complete restoration. Gona be in a car show someday, I can see it now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Good luck with the radiator. :bigthumg:

I thought he was just changing the radiator.. :bigthumg:

He is, but I keep hearing of all this little things he's doing to it.

so got a 2 core rad going in soon? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Nex thing you know Vosko will be putting all the left overs from his FD in it. I wonder what The stock-twins and Ic could do on a blazer :yum:

I would hope a 3 core.

Gotta love the nopistons sticker on the rear glass!! :bigok:

so what color are you gonna paint it?



mike

black?

i personally like the baby blue rust color https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Just add 44 inch superswampers and a CB radio..

Saw the rust in back of the engine, you ever try POR-15. The stuff is magic. Don't let it dry on your skin though, it doesn't come off. Can't tell, but it looks like you've got Warn hubs(or the GMC equivalent), always a good idea to take them apart every couple of years and grease them(seems like everyone forgets them until they need to lock in the front hubs.) Have you got the optional posi rear end?

actually the hubs are broken. i have warn hubs sitting in my room waiting to be put on. i tried to engage the hubs and they broke.... oh well. it doesn't feel like i have a posi rear. i'm pretty sure its an open rear. i have done a nice burnout in it though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

OMG, what is all that white stuff all over the floor..... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

oh Maybe its that "snow" stuff I've read about in books..

ok i just ordered a brand new 3core radiator $120 shipped. should have it in stock. if they don't it takes 24 hours lol. ok so maybe there is a good thing about owning an old blazer..... everything is SUPER CHEAP!

yup snow is fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

until you wanna start modifying it.. then it get spendy...

i have a FD to waste all my money on :bigthumg:

is that an Audi 4000s?

that's my 87 Audi Coupe GT. complete with DIGITAL DASH! that was my first car..... :redface: she needs some work but its too damn cold. right now the truck runs alot better LOL

i would just keep that blazer, and keep it running, thats the cheapest way. my gsl-se is an example of that



mike

Hey Mike, got a spare oil pan from you GSL-SE?

i'll have to look, i think i do



mike

ironically the blazer is the best running vehicle..... the Audi could run good but i don't feel like spending time and money on it....

i did a timing belt in one of those audis, they are a pita!



mike

Gotta love the simplicity of those older chevys

well i worked on this audi. it has 160k miles on it now. i did a head job on it. new timing cover. for some reason it always annhilates the drivers side cv axle. it thinks it has 1000hp.... instead of 100hp. right now the cold start injector is clogged or something runs like crap when its cold and has NO POWER... not that had it much before but it actually did something @ WOT atleast made some noise https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

the only problem i had working on the truck was i couldn't feel my hands because it was so cold and i had to climb in the engine bay https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

you did a cylinder head on the audi! dude thats a huge job



mike

yeah it took forever! lapped the valves, engine runs pretty good. had the head milled so the compression is a little higher that was 4-5 years ago now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/blackeye.gif

thats a good thing :bigthumg:



mike

i did that before i even had a license! i guess i did a good job been running for 50k miles https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png it has the original automatic tranny with 160k miles on it too :smirk:

ok thats just scary



mike
