1991 Chevrolet Blazer Silverado Sport Utility 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Stanley, New York, United States

I am selling my 1991 K5 Blazer. I built this with the intention of keeping it but a mean wife forces the sale. No expense was spared during this build. It has just been sitting around for a year or so. I bet I don't have 1K on it since I finished it last spring. It is the original color. The owners manual shows a dealership in Texas. All the sheet metal is original with the exception of the floor pans and rockers. I had a body shop do this work for me. It was painted from the body line down on the front fenders and doors. The hood, roof and tailgate were not painted. There was no rust in the tub. I stripped it down to bare metal, primed it and coated it with Rock It liner. It looks very good. I also used a generic dyna mat on the floors. The carpet is new front to back. The seats are from a 2006 Silverado 2500. The drivers seat has a cigarette burn on the bottom. All the weather seals are new. The drivers side window works great but the wing makes wind noise. The passenger side works slow. I don't know why, I replaced both window motors and regulators. Every interior part was removed cleaned and painted with LMC's interior dye and clear coated. The dash pad is new from Summit Racing. It fits poorly but its not cracked. I called Summit about it being a POS and they said that they no longer carry that line and refunded my money. Thanks Summit! I had a dip switch installed in the DRAC so that I could program the speedometer. Its correct. The odometer has not worked since I have owned it. It has a flip out touch screen radio and junk speakers in the dash. The interior is very nice but needs the rear side panels. The rear window was working but now it's not. I hear the motor trying to work so I suspect the regulator is rusty. They axles are 4:10 ratio out of an 86 3/4 ton. The truck has an all spring 2-1/5" lift. I also corrected the steering arm. It drives great. The rear axle has a gov-loc differential and all new bearings. I kept the 3/4 ton brakes, which are all new and make this truck stop like its angry. Both drive shafts are custom made by Denny's Driveshafts. The transfer case is original but rebuilt. The transmission is a Monster 700R4 It was there most expensive one I forget what they call it. Here is the fun part!!! The engine is a .030 over 4 bolt 454. It is 9.6 to 1. Zero deck. The crank and rods are stock. The pistons are J&E flat tops. The bearings are Clevite's hardened race set. Total seal rings. The rotating assembly was balanced. The heads are oval port with new SS valves. Full aluminum roller rockers and a Comp Cams roller cam. It has an aluminium dual plane intake. It has Holley's EFI system that also controls timing. All new MSD external coil distributor, box and coil. It has an upgraded fuel pump in the tank Wabro? maybe? Coated Hooker headers with cats and flowmasters (sounds awesome). I have installed a knoc sensor but I never tried to program the computer to work with it. I think I have it set too sensitive and it immediately takes 3 degrees out of it. It starts and idles great hot or cold. On a very cold day its best to let it idle for a few before touching the gas pedal. Again I could have probably tuned the cold idle better but I didn't spend the time on it. In the interior photos you can see the USB cable. Just plug it into your laptop and tune. It was really user friendly. I added an aluminium radiator. It has an electric fan out of a Crown Vic Police Interceptor and is computer controlled. The A/C needs to be charged. The compressor and lines are new. I may have replaced the evaporator but I don't remember. The rims are cheap 16" with Goodyear Dura Tracks. I tried to spray clear coat on the rims because they shipped bare. I don't know how to paint so some of it flaked off. The tires are like new with no wear or dryrot. They ride real nice and quiet. I put a new heater core in it and disassembled and cleaned the heater box. All flexible brake hoses were replaced with braided stainless. This is a real nice truck! I think I could get it to wheelie if I really tried!!!
The areas that I would address are: Rear window regulator A/C charge Slow passenger window a small rust spot on the bottom of the passenger door Spend some time with the engine computer to dial in knock sensors and cold idle. Rear interior panels Wind noise from drivers wing window I have tried to describe this as accurately as possible. I have replaced almost every part on this truck. I have most of the receipts. This truck also has no battery draws and started right up EVERY TIME this winter even when it was near 0. The rear bumper is new from Goodmark. The front is a nice used one. The previous owner painted the old ones grey. Look over the pictures and ask questions. I would like to get her sold but I will not give it away. MILEAGE IS WRONG THIS IS A BIG BLOCK NOT A 5.7 |

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
