Default Matt from virginia

Hey guys I'm matt from virginia. I used to own a 2005 gto. I have had an obsession with ls motors since they came out. I am now on here getting info together to do an ls swap on my blazer sometime this summer. To give you some background I'm a fabricator, HVAC tech, beginner airbrush artist, I can't own a vehicle without modding it.

Thanks! I'm sure I will, I plan on getting two "matching" (gearing) solid axles and lockers. It's not worthy of any kind of trails right now. Solid front axle will fix that

Just the normal blazer problems but nothing major. I had to get another tccm for the 4 wheel drive which still isn't 100%. A/c needs leak checked and charged thas it. Nice where at in va. I probably won't be in va for much longer I think I'm moving to nc.
