thats one of the cleanest installs Ive seen In a long time, and 16k for a finished truck isnt a bad deal considering your not taking 8 months of labor to do it. Excellent truck man-LS1blazer-awesome install

Well I finally took it out to the track, Ran 15.58, 14.23, 14.14, 12.82, and 12.81 all at 103-104mph. I borrowed a set of drag radials for the 12 sec runs.

Are you sure that the engine in this picture on your MySpace page is an LS2?

It has the water pump from an LS1 on it......

Are you sure it's not an 5.3 from a with an F-body intake, an C5 Vette water pump and front accessories with LS2 Covers?



This is the water pump on an C6 LS2:



Hey, even if was an 5.3, it's still a cool swap!

Check picture "5.3L engine swap soon to be forged 6.0L" on your My Space page.

great job on the build. im loving the colorado on your site, i was planning on buying a 5.3 colorado when they came out but they delayed it or whatever so i got a small block S10 instead. i think they were only planning on building an ext cab 5.3, i like the single cab, yours is just awesome. it looks like in the pictures its for sale, how much if you dont mind me asking?

What needs to be done, to fit an LS' motor into one of these trucks? I've got an 03' zq8 S10...Its like your body style, just different wheels, and black. Hell, I could ****** up a 5.3l pretty easy, and still pull decent mpg.
