2007 Trailblazer SS Turbocharged Built Motor/Transmission
Year: 2007
Make: Chevrolet
Model: TrailBlazer
Price: $18900
Mileage: 71000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): MO
Color: Silver
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD
LS Engine?: Car has LS engine
Motor:
About 14-15 months ago, the original motor gave out on me. I took the car to Chad Barton at CBI in St. Louis to replace the motor, and he mentioned to me that he had a motor built for boost currently assembled, so I decided to take the plunge. The motor may be a few cubic inches less than the LS2 that was originally in the car, but this thing is built to handle boost. I have put less than 3000 miles on the motor, and it has never seen more than 5 pounds of boost or been raced. I've truly babied it, and to be honest rarely had time to drive it in the last year. The details:
- 347 ci forged LS1
- Custom forged diamond boost pistons with -8.6cc dish, 3.095" bore
- Fully balanced and blueprinted shortblock
- ARP main studs
- Main caps have been pinned
- Katech c5r timing chain, ls7 lifters, melling oil pump
- ARP headbolts, comp 918 valve springs, ls9 headgaskets
Other mods:
- STS Turbo Kit with 67mm turbo
- 60lb injectors
- AEM widebang
- Autometer boost gauge
- Finish-Live Level 5 transmission
- Yank Multi Disk 3200 stall
- 2-step launch control
- Cool Start remote starting system
It put down 450awhp on the original motor at 8psi. Currently, I drive the car around on 5lbs of boost and have never felt the need to turn it up since the new motor was installed. The car is incredibly mild when cruising around, and truly is a great daily driver. If one feels the need to turn up the boost however, this motor/transmission combo is built to handle what you throw at it.
Issues:
- Ding on driver's side door (see the last picture)
- Couple small scratches/scrapes on rear bumper
- Stabiltrak and ABS codes are being shown

Can you post pics of underneath of the turbo setup? I may be interested. Im concerned about Ground Clearance, and reliability of the setup...I know CBI has some good stuff come out their shop.. You say it would be a great DD How does the rearmount do in foul weather? Have you driven this in a rainstorm, snow etc. Is the 347 an iron block?
I have an 08 TBSS all blacked AWD stock except the mufflers. I am gonna have to daily drive it soon and I dont wanna daily drive black... Since I love it so much Im looking to get a different color..

I've driven in rain (all the time) and snow (although I try not to because of the salt on roads...not because of any clearance issues).
I'll try to get some pics underneath it when I get a chance.

hard to believe it gained over 100 to the tires on 8psi
would you be interested in a short drive around vid with a WOT blast or two, it would help me (or anyone looking) that cant get to wisconsin
