What you guys think?

sorry for the late reply, but that cam would be great for your engine while still maintaining good drivability, be sure to pick up a matching stall, something between 2800 and 3400 should be right for it.

anything new lately?

Nothing new. Just been working like crazy! Thanksgiving coming up, Im in the Meat Business. So Turkey time is here!

I did do a light rebuild on the block. New head gaskets, bolts. Rings and bearings.

Just haven't had much time or cash either to get to far along.

Who did your harness? Think Current Performance is gonna do mine.

Things been going good for you?

Taker easy, And thank you for your Service to Our Country!

Default No progress on the Blazer.

I've been so busy with the store stuff, I had to build this gooseneck trailer for my business. Got a 16ft cold storage box for holiday turkeys and hams.

Current did my harness, he is pricy, but he did a damn good job. if you have wiring knowlege you could di it yourself, I just ran out of time between work and school.

got a ton done lately and started her, she will be on the road next week.

Post Harness rework

Little update.
started my harness myself on monday. Got everything taken out and done except cover and relay box done. My Torque converter just came in. 3400 stall anti balloon. Should work with the 221-221 283* .558lft 114 LSA cam I plan to get. Besides that nothing new, but I am getting closer!

I have fresh TH-350 w/ manual valve body, Raybes. Green clutches and Band.( New sun shell, and TCI Pump) New yoke and shift kit. The converter is 9.5" 3,400 stall. Nos ready. I had this trans built for last project ( '71 Nova) that I sold before I could start it. I plan on a built 4L60-85E in the Future. Just want to drive this thing soon!

The harness is coming along well. Just a matter of time now. There sure proud of PCM tuning.

How is your deal working out?

I had to rip my tranny back out, it leaked over 4 quarts in under 200 miles, it will be back in by this weekend, but I am still in desperate need of a tune..

Dude that blows. Been there, this is the guy that 2 times in a row forgot to thread lock my oil pick up. After working 12 hour days, It gets like that. Now I make CHECK list for everything I start and plan to finish!

Think Fast Chip in Tulsa, Ok gonna tune mine. Close to my house. Almost tempted to trailer it down, just for the hell of it. Lmao!

Did you have your PCM standard tuned? VATS and other?
