Default Hey Everyone!

Hello everyone. My name is Mike. I am 20 years old and have been fooling around with SBC's longer than I can remember. I currently have an 86 blazer with a 400+ hp 383 stroker. I've had this truck since I was 15. I also have a 2003 GMC Sierra with some minor upgrades as my DD. I look forward to learning lots of info as well as making some friends on this site. Now you know who I am, let me know who you are! ~ Mike

WOW... just found this thread.

Really cool to read something I wrote over 4 years ago. Little update, I've sold the blazer but the 383 has been relocated to a desert racing 92 Ranger that I built from the ground up. Crazy to think of all thats happened since I posted this. Still have the 03 GMC but I've put 100k miles on it since I posted this. lol.

Anyway, hoping to get more into this site as I dig around for info on swapping out the 383 for an L92.

Hi Mike,
I myself have a 94 ranger with the 2.3L, 2 wheel drive, i-beam, I bought it 3 years ago already caged front to back with glass all the way around. Fun *** truck but I want more power. Alot more! Have done some research on motors and have decided on an LQ9 swap, trans, as well as 4 link. (Nothing bought yet. Currently on deavers) Id like to go back and forth through email or text if you wouldnt mind helpin a brotha out. Ill be honest I am kind of clueless on how to approach this and would truly appreciate the help or opinions. I currently live in the bay area/sf but grew up in 5 cities. (Nipomo, arroyo and grover) please shoot me an email if you can. Thanks in advance! Jessesmith1220@gmail.com
Peace bro!
