Survivor 1970 K5 Blazer 4x4 LS3/6L80E Twin turbo Flex fuel equipped

Body:the body on the truck is 90% ORIGINAL paint and 98% rust free.It has several dents and dings and shows its age accordingly.Most of the trim is dented up as well as are the chrome bumpers.To my knowledge the only body panel that is not original to the truck is the tail gate,but it has been painted and aged to match the truck almost perfectly.

interior:Aside from the New Vintage gauge cluster,steering wheel from a 1992 GMC typhoon and a brand new Auto Custom Interiors rubber floor mat, the interior is 100% stock and in very good condition for its age.The passenger front seat has one small pin hole at the very front where you're legs would rest that is virtually un-noticable.The drivers seat as welll and the rear seat and all seat belts are very nice.
 
Chassis:The frame is all original to the truck and 100% rust free.The front and rear differentials are original as well  still retains lock out hubs that work perfectly,however,the front diff has been equipped with later model disk brakes,cross over steering and steering stabilizer all from a donor 1978 truck.Both front hubs have all new wheel bearings,seals,u-joints and ball joints.The rear diff retains the stock drum brakes but those too have been completely rebuilt/replaced.Its rolling on 15x10 factory GM rally wheels and bran new Mickey Thompson 31x10.5x15 tires

Drive train:Late model engine and trans swap,40k mile LS3,and a 10K mile GM warrantied 6L80E auto transmission.The motor has been treated to a GM ZR1 camshaft,and PRC .675 lift dual spring valve springs,Holley High Ram intake manifold,welded smoothed and painted factory GM valve covers and a coil relocation kit.The radiator has been replaced with a new aluminum unit that supports the dual 4th generation Camaro fan assembly.The engine and trans perform flawlessly as they should and feed into a rebuilt NP208 transfer case which turns brand new front and rear drive shafts

Turbo System:Twin Turbo System consists of 2 GM factory 2012 Camaro exhaust manifolds that have been welded and fitted with the correct flanges to bolt 2 GM Grand National turbos,which feed a Precision Turbo front mount air to air inter-cooler which then feed the C6 Z06 90mm throttle body to the intake manifold.All producing a very conservative and reliable 8 PSI of boost

The truck is running on a factory 2007 Corvette computer with speed density tuning,and has been wired for a factory appearing and functioning Flex fuel system.Which means that there are absolutely no adjustments or changes needed to pump in either gasoline or E85 directly into the fuel tank.

Odds and Ends: the fuel system consists of a 1992 Ford Bronco II gas tank that has been modified with a rear sump to feed the 2 walboro 255 fuel pumps and factory Grand National fuel filters before being wye'd together and feeding a set of Holley billet fuel rails.The motor was mounted using a Dirty Dingo replacement front cross member.while the trans was mounted using a slightly modified factory cross member.

The exhaust system is 100% stainless steel dual 2.5" down pipes feeds into an SLP stainless 2 into 1, 3.5" tail pipe that exits on the drivers side and is probably quieter than the stock system this truck came with.

The truck was built and tuned by Speed Incorporated out of Schaumburg IL,it made 491 rear wheel horse power on 93 octane and 525 rear wheel horsepower on E85.I bnuilt the truck to do it all,light off roading mostly at the Silver Lake dune are in MI,the occasional drag race but most of all to be a fun daily driver that I can hook my boat to an throw my dirt bikes in and just have fun.The truck is an absolute blast to drive and unless you are at wide open throttle or nearly it drives like a stock vehicle.I would not hesitate for one minute over driving this from coast to coast.

I am the 3rd owner it spent all its life on the western sea board and that is the reason there is no rust on it.I spent the better part of last summer trying to find a truck that was a rust free as this one,and the payoff is here.I have quit a bit of original documentation from the previous owners that can trace it back to when it was new,or nearly new.

more pics of the engine and entire turbo build can be seen at my photobucket account danimal95 is my account name the Blazer pics are on pages 4-6

recently installed center console and original 4 wheel drive selector lever that are not in the pictures

I will not take low ball offers,by no means do I have to sell it an truthfully I'm not even sure I want to.

Has less that 500 miles on current engine/transmission combination

please fell free to email or call me with concerns,questions or other picture requests,I probably have another 50 pictures if interested please email me

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
