Looks like its made by Lisle Corp. Very slick setup and not super expensive at ~$100. Very cool, thanks for the suggestion. Im going to try an old fashioned left hand drill bit and see if that works. If not, or I run into more broken studs as I pull them to install the ARPs I got, I might give...

Since @zoomad75 told me the 5.3 wasnt going to be powerful enough to spin the tires with the camper... Let the power mods commence! :ROFLMAO: Schoenfeld 1302LS1 long tubes. Apparently these are the go to header for cheap/powerful K5 LS swaps. Unfortunately when I removed the driver side...

I guess Im in the minority in this situation. I loved it for the extra security in the camper and still having a tailgate to use as a table, seat etc. Did it this way on two different trucks and 3 different campers. If I could have it this way on my Blazer I would.

Interesting the beds are slightly different on those Chevys. On my taco the piece of the header is actually replaceable so it could simply be removed entirely. Maybe you arent so lucky ha. I dont know about newer campers but on all 4 that Ive had in the past, the passenger side window was the...

The actual size of the bed really isnt dependent on the truck being 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton. Most of them share the same bed sizes, the real difference is the chassis, not the body. The only reason people choose 3/4 ton is that it carries the load with more ease. As for fitting the camper, its going...

Well I have gotten precisely zero done on the Blazer since its just sitting in storage. This has allowed for one thing to happen though. Procurement of parts. One more looong box shows up on Monday and I will have everything in my possession except the radiator fans. Christmas in July, as they say.

Today I drove up to a little bumblef*ck town about an hour north of Phoenix to pick up a different bellhousing for the SM465. I learned that I had the bellhousing for a mechanical clutch and it would be easier to make this all work if I could find one for a hydraulic clutch so I can use all...

So it would be possible to grab a pedal from any newer truck with hydroboost, even an automatic? And just replace the actual foot pad on the pedal so its a smaller one like a manual. It seems to me it will be incredibly hard to find a hydroboost manual trans brake pedal. Im keeping my eye out...

Great video! I appreciate that you guys are wearing eye protection too, well except for the one dodo. Also, the kid (your kid?) knows what a Doka is, how cool!!!

Talked to @zoomad75 for quite a while today. The pedal assembly is defenitely hydraulic and the bell housing I have is cable. Sounds like Ill have to run a Novak Conversions hydraulic slave cylinder adaptor. This should allow me to run the rest of the factory hydraulic clutch parts. I want to...

Cool thanks, Im fine with running a catch can too if it comes to that. I talked to the guy I got these pedals from and he said they came out of an 85 so that would make them hydraulic. My 465 bellhousing appears to be mechanical. I dont really care either way. I just need to find what I need ha.

Thanks for the info. The engine was in @zoomad75 truck running and driving about two weeks ago ha, so It has not been sitting very long at all. As for cooling, Im leaning towards electric. I have the big 6.2 diesel radiator and haven't looked into how big of a fan setup I can put on that. Being...

Ha, its my parents house. They are in Colorado for the summer so Im "house sitting" until I find a new house to buy. I already got told by the HOA to close the garage door. :rolleyes: Ready to get out of here. I dont know, can you tell from the pictures? See below for additional. Do you know...

Alright, things are starting to get interesting! From what Ive gathered, the easiest setup to run an SM465 behind an "LS" is an LS7 pilot bearing, a stock 4.8/6.0 gas engine clutch and a stock 70's c/k truck flywheel. Its so funny because low RPM use can get away with basically any crappy stock...

Agreed Manual all day every day!

Thanks to @zoomad75 my Tacoma now has 14 cylinders, 3 transmissions and 2 transfer cases...;)

:ROFLMAO:

Well, since I was prompted that a reply was made to this thread and then edited and then deleted (dont worry I got a screenshot, you know who you are) I guess Ill post up... Haven't done any work to the Blazer because I spent the last week moving and closed on the sale of my house today. Im...

Im going to act like that wasn't a passive aggressive jab at me and say that I did read about it and research a little and use first hand help from people across multiple forums and attempt to learn on my own through process of elimination working on the carb and I still have the same issue Ive...

Wow, thank you! Want to do an LS swap with me? hahaha. Ill let you know what happens, I genuinely appreciate the offer.
