Black02Z71. how much did the whole swap cost you?

 

Are those parts powdercoated? Looks very nice. Congrats.

 

13.9 is great! What size tires and gears are you running?

 

No powercoating here just metal cast dupli color paint from a can

cost

$2200 for 2003 LQ4 2000kms (from gmc savana 3500)

+ $100 core charge + 15% tax = $2645

+ head gaskets, bolts, Trailblazer stall, dexcool, atf, paint = around $900

total cost around $3500 CDN


For tires I have stock size 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's. Gear ratio 3.73


I just wish I did this, before I spent money on all the little things, that don't do much.

 

Very nice! Did you just notice more power overall or torque?

 

It has way more power overall, but it is hard to judge the torque difference down low, because the TC keeps the rpms up. I haven't driven it very far yet, I'll know better tomorrow.

 

awsome swap man.... looks very clean. how do you like that cam? what is its power band? and a really dumb *** question, but you say trailblazer TC... are you refering to the Chevy Trailblazer factory TC??

 

Don't feel bad, ive always wondered the same thing about the tc! haha i just would never ask for pride's sake. lol

 

Yes the stall is for a chevy trailblazer/GMC envoy with a 4.2L I6. The Yank Truck thruster 2600 and 3000 are based of this stall. It is a 11 inch convertor, and it stalls to 2600rpm.

Awesome setup. I wish I wouldve gone with a 6.0 with cam and nitrous. That motor is just incredible. I bet people are blown away when you pop the hood.
