1984 Chevy S10 Blazer, 383 stroker motor with super light race crank,Roller cam, Lunati roller rockers, speed pro roller lifters , melling oil pump, fluid damper harmonic balancer, special turbo 400 transmission with less than a thousand miles on it ( this transmission has a switch pitch converter- push the button on the B&M ratchet shifter and it goes from 2000 rpm stall to a 4500 stall making it great for street or strip ) Mallory breakerless distributor, Mallory pro coil, Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fan, drive shaft loop, Floating rear axle - ford nine inch rear axle, I think it has a 411 Richmond gear set, four wheel disc brakes, B&M ratchet shifter, chrome headers ( these were wrapped to reduce engine heat) with flowmaster mufflers and 2 1/2 inch exhaust, cyberdyne gauges, edelbrock victor jr. aluminum 4-barrel intake, custom paint, Alpine six disc stereo with amp, rear mounted holly comp 140 electric fuel pump and filter, Holley fuel regulator, weld wheels all around,  the boost gauge on the A-piller is not connected as this was for a paxton supercharger that was removed , it has 2 extra cragar wheels with tires, the lower graphics resemble granite, and has a moroso battery box is mounted in the rear, the front has been lowered 2 inches via aftermarket kit., All of the sheet metal is there except the inner fender skirts.... now for the bad .. After I removed the hood and fenders to install a fiberglass flip front end, my work load increased to 12 hours a day seven days a week I had to put this project on hold.. when I got back to it someone had taken the carburetor I have another Holley carb for it now.. The engine has about four hundred miles on it , but has been setting for a few years . I removed the heads and there was a wasp nest in two of the cylinders, I cleaned them out and it is turning over just fine but I think a cylinder hone should be used to clean any surface rust or imperfections. The heads are supposed to be Dart II world product heads. but not sure,  the carb is untried but looks very good, you will need a new battery and a horn.. The mileage is listed as 999,999 because all of the gauges are electronic the actual mileage is closer to about forty thousand miles. The body and the interior are in very good condition, power brakes, power windows .. the paint will need some minor attention as the clear coat is flaking on the roof area, there are two small dents that I have seen, one in the hood and one on the roof by the passenger door and one rust spot noticed in the lower rear quarter where it was sitting in the weeds. The windshield has a couple of small starburst that are barely noticeable and all of the other glass is good.. I have this listed locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early,  No I don't want to sell the Stroker motor, transmission, or any other parts separately at this time thanks. This is an as is where is sale so please ask any and all questions before bidding and I will try to answer them asap. I want happy buyers not Bad feed back.. Please remember the heads were removed to clear the wasp nests and have not been put back on , so bring cash and a trailer .. May take motor cycle or ??? in trade... I added a picture of the car before I removed the front end metal.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
