Turbo LS 2WD K-5 Blazer

[Daniel Jost]

Well my Buick has been on hold for the past several months as I have been hammering away on a friend's Turbo Buick. But at the same time I have been hammering away on a project that my brother and I started early this winter for him. It is a 67-72 Chevy K-5 Blazer that we have hundreds of hours of fab work into by now with almost nothing going untouched. Our goal it to make it carve the corners with corvettes and straight line even better. It is being fed by a LS3 top ended 6.0 and 4L80E being controlled by Megasquirt 3/x and Megashift. We are pretty proud of the work we have into it so far and it isn't your typical stick an LS in some car and go. The forum is worth the read, or at least a picture show. ;-)

Looking pretty much badass. I hope the weather is good for Automotion to see this thing in person.

P.S. I see you still have the exhaust manifolds upside down yet... All that talent you guys have & can't even figure out up from down. Geeeshh!

That is awesome! Id like to do a turbo blazer for the sand dunes in the future.

Looks like that K5 came outta MT!?!

Yes it sure did! The truck was saved from a field it was sitting in!

I can't wait for the Dells this year! We will be cruising all the way up with the top off, hopefully we can surprise a couple fast cars along the way!

Are you up near IL/WI border?

 

[theCATman]

Me or Dan? I am, he's a wee bit farther south...

Was wondering about Dan, but I saw the location on the truck forum he is near Peoria. I'm not too far away between Pontiac and Joliet on 55.

 

[theCATman]

I will let him answer if he wants to say his exact location. But I will say he works for CAT....

Yes I live in Central, IL. My brother is the one running the thread. I am about 20 min north of Peoria, straight across the river from Mossville, IL.
