Default 5 grand in my pocket!!

i sold my blazer today folks...it was hard to part with the ole green goblin... but ive washed my hands of it. anyway, the money from it + graduation money = 50 100dollar bills. im having to restrain myself because i gotta pay my dad back for the loan on the ls1 . anyway, i always wanted to build a 383 stroker th350 combo to slap in it but then i would be stuck with a ride barley streetable and only in the same BALLPARK as an ls1 car. im happy where im at. anyway, heres a some pictures.

first was the project picture . others are what it actually looked like. i hated to see it pull out of the driveway but im glad its gone... RIP...the green goblin.

I could see where you would be upset

If your looking to get a THXXX street tranny, get a 400 cause the 350s arent strong enough to take a street beating.

That is a clean looking blazer, looks well taken care of what year is it? What software did you use to add the mod in picture one? For about 1 second, I was like, WOW, then I looked closer and started laughing. My mom used to own an 84 blazer and gave her nothing but trouble.

I looked at the first pic and was like WTF???
Then I noticed the PS problems. If it were like that, I wouldn't have sold it. For 5K, get the STS kit and a rear. Hold on and have fun!

Yeah, all those 9 second race cars aren't near as hard on a tranny as a street car

i diddnt sell it for 5k lol. i sold it for 2350, the hood had flown open on me on the highway and one of the brakelines had a leak. and it had 180k miles with the last 45k or so put on it since i got it at 16!!! it blue books right at what i sold it for so im not too unhappy.

i know you guys got skurred when you saw the blower lol. my buddy did that along with the slammage on photoshop. i always wanted to build a strong 383 not all that wild so i could daily drive it, but have a 150 shot for some un-expected visitors.

a new rear end and a maby nice h/c package w/ some headers would be on the plate if i had all the money at my disposal .
