I am listing for sale my 2007 3SS AWD Trailblazer for sale. I have owned the car for nearly 3 years and it's been blast to drive. Unfortunately, my job requires me to travel quite a bit and its time to get a cheap car thats good on fuel economy. Now for the details:

Motor:
About 14-15 months ago, the original motor gave out on me. I took the car to Chad Barton at CBI in St. Louis to replace the motor, and he mentioned to me that he had a motor built for boost currently assembled, so I decided to take the plunge. The motor may be a few cubic inches less than the LS2 that was originally in the car, but this thing is built to handle boost. I have put less than 3000 miles on the motor, and it has never seen more than 5 pounds of boost or been raced. I've truly babied it, and to be honest rarely had time to drive it in the last year. The details:
- 347 ci forged LS1
- Custom forged diamond boost pistons with -8.6cc dish, 3.095" bore
- Fully balanced and blueprinted shortblock
- ARP main studs
- Main caps have been pinned
- Katech c5r timing chain, ls7 lifters, melling oil pump
- ARP headbolts, comp 918 valve springs, ls9 headgaskets

Other mods:
- STS Turbo Kit with 67mm turbo
- 60lb injectors
- AEM widebang
- Autometer boost gauge
- Finish-Live Level 5 transmission
- Yank Multi Disk 3200 stall
- 2-step launch control
- Cool Start remote starting system

It put down 450awhp on the original motor at 8psi. Currently, I drive the car around on 5lbs of boost and have never felt the need to turn it up since the new motor was installed. The car is incredibly mild when cruising around, and truly is a great daily driver. If one feels the need to turn up the boost however, this motor/transmission combo is built to handle what you throw at it.

Issues:
- Ding on driver's side door (see the last picture)
- Couple small scratches/scrapes on rear bumper
- Stabiltrak and ABS codes are being shown

What kind of car you looking for? I have an '07 Infiniti G35x 4 door loaded if you're interested in a partial trade?

Can you post pics of underneath of the turbo setup? I may be interested. Im concerned about Ground Clearance, and reliability of the setup...I know CBI has some good stuff come out their shop.. You say it would be a great DD How does the rearmount do in foul weather? Have you driven this in a rainstorm, snow etc. Is the 347 an iron block?

I have an 08 TBSS all blacked AWD stock except the mufflers. I am gonna have to daily drive it soon and I dont wanna daily drive black... Since I love it so much Im looking to get a different color..

Sorry for the incredibly delayed response! I'm not on here much, and I don't get a notification when someone responds - that's why I listed my contact email in the initial post. The 347 is not an iron block.

I've driven in rain (all the time) and snow (although I try not to because of the salt on roads...not because of any clearance issues).

I'll try to get some pics underneath it when I get a chance.

Stock cam. The car esentially drives like a stock TBSS, it's very very mild, even the stall. Very daily driveable.

Not sure on compression but I try to find that out.
