Default 5.3 L into a K-5 Blazer

5.3L on the engine Stand


Conversion Motor Mounts to allow it to be more of a bolt in mod


Hydro Clutch Parts all painted Nice


Truck with some trail damage


Getting the truck ready for the 5.3L

Tearing every thing apart





The installation and fitting begins






Painted the Firewall while everything was out to make it look better


I wish i would have gone with a darker green


Started to put my drive train together




I ended up having to redrill the transmission cross member holes because the 5.3 is shorter than the 350 in length so my drive lines changed in length by 1.5 inches.

Looks good but I would go with a electric fan or use a shroud for the fan.

Nice work. I like how that orange paint looks on there. I might have to do that to mine, I'm trying to make mine look like a SBC at first glance.
