[eduardosantacruz]

How much did this project cost?

and how much time did you spend?

[craveman85]

was that a 4x4 or a 2wd?

[JSN1995]

Swappin my stock v6 for a 350 chevy in my s 10! How hard was it to get the engine and transmission placed right into the truck? And will i need more than just new motor mounts? Please comment back thamks. O and nice truck

[stanbernadino]

It's not easy, we had to put in a new radiator and cut into the firewall.

[sjorshendriks]

@JSN1995

Uhm you will probably need more because the transmission is bigger.

And your axels are to weak, so you will need other axels too.

;)

[trunk516]

sweet truck...

[420witchdoctor]

So clean, looks great!

[hawro]

what is the cost and process of this, im looking to do this as well

[Kingshti1]

How hard is this swap into a 4x4 blazer .

[chulababy12345]

@Kingshti1 it wasnt that hard i got a 94 blazer with a tbi motor

[joshdrockss]

you are so lucky.

[bassmastry101]

I have that same carb on my v8 s10, the autozone special. it gets trash stuck in it all the time.

[stanbernadino]

Never had that problem with this one...

[bassmastry101]

@stanbernadino i got around to cleaning it out with some compressed air and adjusting it..it runs alot better now, nice truck btw

[riceski]

@stanbernadino what did it cost to build and how much did u get for it finished?

i have an 85 - the tranny slipping in 4th but I think it is because the vacuum hoses are on wrong - but it could just be the trans - anyway - - how much to do the swap and how much u sell it for?

[borderlineartistic]

@bassmastry101 get an airfilter and a fuel filter lol :D

[bassmastry101]

@borderlineartistic check and check, no dice

[pedrocuete1]

my blazer is running slow it picks up speed but like a turtle do anyone know what it is

[Zem0nkey]

What year/engine is yet, and, are you having any other problems?

[BulletproofMk3]

with the 350 motor there is next to no wires .if you do a swap hiding the wires wont be an issue cause literally theres less than a handfull to worry about .

[MrHappydonutz]

nice! hey i wanted a v8 in my blazer (89 ) how much did this cost time money? tis a fricken sweet setup yall got lol i just would like a bit more power i got the teeny v6 2.8 LAME lol

[stevwblev]

nice man, you got a regal gs?

those things are fast

thats where gmc got the idea for the syclone and typhoon

except buick turboed a 3.8 and gmc turboed a 4.3

nice blazer though

[sk8terrandy1]

badd ass blazer what size is the motor 305 or 350?

[4xdanx4]

wow every one has 400hp that sounds like the 4.3 is still in the truck

[amazing1957]

you obviously aren't familiar with the sound of a v8...

[4xdanx4]

aren't familiar with the sound of a v8 what your kidding right? every car i have ever had is a v8 man.

[stanbernadino]

It's a V8...if you think it sounds like a 4.3 then you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

The horsepower was calculated with desktop dyno software.

[4xdanx4]

wow i dont care man. im not beening a asshole sorry for not likeing your truck

[wprestidge1]

my stock setup would do circles around you... oooooo that sounds like a triple dog dare!!! lol

[stanbernadino]

The Blazer is in Canada now under new ownership, so good luck with that.

[wprestidge1]

it was funny, ha ha. still a sweet truck.

[wprestidge1]

sounded like a 1985 chevy caprice, <petty bad when you can do that!

[GREGORYxHOWARD]

i had a 93 blazer s10 with the 4.3 v6

than we found a 95 chevy pickup with a 305 v8

we took it to our little body shop in town and the engine was 550 dollers and 800 dollers for the labor

[weewoodeal]

an the point is?

[X2N18]

hey guys i have a stock 1988 s-10 blazer v6 2.8L i wonder how can i make it run faster are they some tips to do this or i really have to change my engine to a v8?

[meatpuppet29]

[jasn9021011]

[jesse420hoss]

[stanbernadino]

No but you sure do talk about cock a lot, I think it's you who likes them...

[DRPraeuner]

[blazinloud]

[bonebrakegq]

Any idea what kinda 1/4 mile ET?

[gtman70]

hey nice blazer check mine out. oh iwanna race. just kidding.

[stanbernadino]

lol well I would except I sold the Blazer about a month ago. I'll race you with my new Buick Regal GS tho =)

[ratrodpunk]

Hey man, I got a 87 blazer with dana 44's axels and 33 super swampers under it and i was just wondering what you used for the trany. the stock 3.3 with the conversion kit or a somthing bigger? and if you used the stock do you thing it would hold up to my setup with a stock 350?

(still haven't got that far yet) hehe. Thanks

[zuggwump]

wow that's a fucking clean truck man, keep up the good work.

[atlantafan447]

well i have a 1992 s10 blazer that i am selling right now that i had for about a year. it just has to many miles on it and i keep having to put money into it. so i actually do care about them.

[stanbernadino]

Nice, good luck selling it I'm probably going to end up trading mine in at a GM dealership, probably won't get much for it but I need something that gets good mileage.

[atlantafan447]

yea gas is killing me even with mine just being a v6. good luck with yours

[stanbernadino]

What are you planning on getting to replace it with? I'm looking at a '99 Buick Regal right now, hoping to modify it into a sleeper that still gets 30mpg.

[hernandezcoro]

how much do you want for it

[stanbernadino]

I'm asking $5000 on craigslist but hoping for anything above $4500

[atlantafan447]

where is your blazer located?

[stanbernadino]

Corvallis Oregon, you know somebody who wants to buy one?

[stanbernadino]

Ya mine just sold on ebay and only got $1501 =( but I think the people who bought it are going to take good care of it. I just put down a deposit on the Regal and I think it will turn out to be an epic car. I'd say go with the Camaro, Mustangs are too commonplace and I just hate Eclipses period.

[atlantafan447]

yea i've heard camaros are better than mustangs anyway and i would rather have an american made car but idk. my blazer is having trouble selling. alot of no shows and people not coming back after maming an offer

[rocker85675]

maybe its your poor grammer or spelling?

[atlantafan447]

fuck off little dick munch

[edwrds1993]

Put some money into the exterior.

[stanbernadino]

I would really like to, and the interior but I can no longer afford to drive the Blazer with gas prices the way they are so unfortunately I have to sell it.

[bmxrider57]

hey do you think you can win with my set up

[stanbernadino]

I dunno upload a video of it with some acceleration runs and I'll tell you then.

[bmxrider57]

shits week

[stanbernadino]

It's hella faster than whatever shit you got guaranteed

[bmxrider57]

alright 383 gmc Yukon supercharged

[Dueceks1981]

ugly as fuck

[stanbernadino]

ahahaha, you mean like you?

[connor1126]

i have the same thing but its a s10 pick up

[damanwitoutaname]

Yes.

[badbassplayer72681]

get some pipes on that bad boy dude. make that V8 sing in tune lol

[jp198780]

how can this be 400HP

i like chevys and all

little ass stock tailpipes? and when it revs still sounds stock v6

[stanbernadino]

um that's dual exhaust I don't think they came like that stock...

[carmaster3000]

nice and I think its jest called a blazer

[BIGHUsTLEnc]

No its a S10 Blazer

and fuck toyota

[Calvin5040]

Wrong there was a S10 and a T10 Blazer

[lorrieandmatt]

Nice!!!!!!!

[MidnightStalker187]

Sounds great, very clean for the year, im not a huge fan of the teal, but it look good on the truck

[DemoFly]

What brand of wheels are those? My old silverado had them and I had to sell that rig because of a divorce.

[stanbernadino]

Not sure, I'll find out and get back to you

[bunit1001]

you gotta put a magnaflow exaust on it to really make it purr!

[2007Escalade]

Was that hard to do, because I'm thinking of adding a 350 to my little Blazer, and want to see how much work that's going to take.

[sailorkagome91]

Nice chevy man and i love the that 350 you got there and do me a nice fav smoke every f##king riceburners out there man and when i get my own chevy s10 it will eat all riceburners out there too dude

[stanbernadino]

thanks, I've smoked a hell of a lot of fart can riceburners and laughed at them all the way to the next gas station :)

[sailorkagome91]

f##king sweet man and dud that the bad ass chevy iv ever seen cuz i live in new jersey so it is rar to see a chevy s10 and it rarer to see a chevy blazer but sweet blazer man

[seldian]

I want to do a 350 convertion on my 97 s-10 blazer. what all will i have to change?

[stanbernadino]

I'm not sure because my Blazer is a different style and the firewall and transmission and stuff are different so I would try looking it up online.

[michaelmurch]

hella sick and a sleeper too cuz it doesnt sound/look as mean as it is under the hood

[carlosr428]

hell id race ya in a 92 lexus with a 4.0 DOHC v8 =] Toyota > Chevy =D lol quality is way better, the efficiency and performance as well, that 4.0 can hold up to 1000hp with stock internals =]

[stanbernadino]

LOL a 92 Lexus has about as much character as my bathroom scale. I'd embarrass it too. btw if you think Toyota is so great you might look at some of the recent reliability ratings, they arent' doing that well anymore.

[carlosr428]

like everyother company theyre reducing reliability but hey man i assure you any toyota engine from 95 down will outlast any chevy engine

[stanbernadino]

95 down? Maybe, but this isn't 1995 and now American engines are just as good as the japanese ones.

[txstonerm]

up to 1000 horses on stock internals? right. like my bumber stick says, eatin fords shittin dodges. the only problem i'm remotely having right now is finding a 350 thats not gonna put a hole in my wallet

[carlosr428]

yea dude look up the toyota 1uzfe engine its a DOHC 4liter all aluminum v8 they hold from 1000-1200hp with stock internals thats why i switched to toyota.

[tamaaxis]

ya ill race ya, i have a 355 in my 83 s-10 and it runs 11.20s

[stanbernadino]

lol I have a feeling I'd lose to that if you're getting 11 second times

[Ninjo13]

i have a chance to buy a supercharged LS1 w/ a 6 speed tranny that came out of a Trans am... but i dont know how much money and time its going to take to make all the exhaust imntake and other custom parts needed

[atlantafan447]

hey i have a 92 s10 blazer and i was thinking of converting to a v8 about how much did it cost

[hewhoishated]

edelbrock is overrated by a lot... you want fast go to LPE (Lingenfelter Performance Engineering)

[stanbernadino]

I know Edelbrock is overrated we just got a rebuild kit for a holley in the garage when the transmission is finished.

[bigwillys58]

if its that fast how come it aint movin? atleast it is a bowtie.

[Lukifer14]

Dude, that thing is as ugly as a ballsack.

[stanbernadino]

I'll bet you are too, that's why you have no videos, you probably drive some shitty riceburner.

[tamaaxis]

haha ur prolly right. lol

[northsidensb]

lol...pretty good..but a lil quiet

[tamaaxis]

yeah ill race you, i have a 83' s-10 short box single cab with the LS7 427ci small block

[2008Cummins]

Ill race you. All i got is a 85 ford bronco with a 12 valve cummins conversion and bigger injectors

[stanbernadino]

how much hp?

[2008Cummins]

Around 500 hp and 850 ft lb of torque

[stanbernadino]

hmmm ya I think that might beat my 406 hp Blazer. But I don't think I'll be racing anybody until we fix the damn governor in the tranny.

[2008Cummins]

Yea im having trouble blowing up trannys, but i got a sun coast tranny on order and its guarenteed not to break, no matter what hp or torque you throw at it. After that goes in im putting the ATS compound turbo setup on it.

[greghunt2]

what year modal

[dimmuborgir6nik6]

You need to get some running boards and it will be complete.

[Koogz406]

i meant he lol...and i have the same tranny and corvette radiator...if u cant tell by looking at it you dont know your engines...do you see a distributer in front?? NO ?? wow its a 350...

[Koogz406]

IF U LOOK AND are not STUPID ITS A 350 small block,

NOT a 305-v8......she knows his tuck PLUS i have the same thing... rock on man i love my s-10...

[2manygangstacheeses]

its a 350 no question...i have a 1980 gmc sierra classic 350 w/ valve covers and an edelbrock carb just like that...its a mild engine thats why it doesnt sound like a v8...mine sounded almost exactly like that before i got a cam...but i know it doesnt have 400 horsepower that i DO KNOW. I got a cam and its only making about 275 ponies so a manifold and a couple of other dodads just isnt gonna cut it...but nice truck

[alannn02]

yeah, ok.

[alannn02]

bitch, i know more about chevys & any kind of engine than you so dont try to start telling me i dont know shit about engines or chevy's.

[stanbernadino]

Maybe you do, but trying to prove to me what kind of engine my own car has when I know damn well it's a 350 makes it seem like you really don't know about it that's all I'm saying.

[1999BlackDakotaRT]

Just check the numbers back by the dist. If it is an older 350 it will have a 3970010 BTW I also have a 1991 355 SBC in my truck, and barely making 400 HP, and this is what my truck has. 355 4 bolt .30 over decked to zero 302 Duration 510 lift cam Flat top forged pistons ,steel rods, steel crank Ported and Polished 1.94 heads 76cc Edelbrock Air Gap intake 750 Holley - 3310 MSD ignition Hooker headers Full Roller rockers

[tamaaxis]

if you know so much, stop bein sucha hard ass w/the keyboard and go and build a motor

[nismozxjunky]

it's definitely a 350 smallblock looks like a older model of the engine though, pre-'84? Whats the motor originally from? old 350 vette engine? maybe an old 350 camaro engine? I'd love you see a video with a bit better sound quality and a rev up by you moving the throttle. The white/teal paint is awesome, i really love that tropical look on it.

[stanbernadino]

Sorry about the late reply, the engine block is actually out of a 1969 van but most of the other stuff is a lot newer, and ya I will be uploading more vids of it soon. Thx for the comment

[alannn02]

motherfucker, now listen here, i know the difference between a 350 & a 305, that's probably a 305, you dont know a shittin ass thing about your car. prolly isnt yours.

[stanbernadino]

Shit dude you don't know a friken thing about Chevy's do you?! IT'S A 350! IT'S NOT A 305, IT'S NOT A V6! If you thought that was a V6 you don't know a damn thing about engines and what they sound like!

[tamaaxis]

dude its a 350, tht thing is way too built to be a 305, believe me i had one.and the only good thing about them, is that they sound good... othere than that they suck

[alannn02]

hell yeah i can tell the difference, thats NO 350

[stanbernadino]

well obviously you can't because it is a 350, I would know it's my freakin' car!

[iiiiiiiiijiii]

well it might not be a 350 but it is definatly a chevy small block. and it is not a GODDAMN V6.

[zchris87v]

It's a V8. Not a V6. And the 4.3 is based off the 350, and theoretically should bolt right up. Usually even has the same trans behind it (700R4). So why the hell would anyone go through the trouble of putting something besides a 350 in? For the added fun of more work?

[alannn02]

no way in hell thats a damn 350 that's still a v6

[tamaaxis]

someones a tad bit retarded.

well thts gotta be the biggest v6 ive ever seen in my life. lol

jus trust us. its a v8

[MushroomKingdoom]

Thats v6 not v8.

I can see that.

[ilikecars1]

How many v8's have you seen? that's no v6

[flatvidz]

Just the fact that it's a 4.3 but it's pulling a lot of hp? I dunno. I'm wierd about some stuff. And if you join that forum look me up. My usernames kiko. I'm sure people would love your blazer if u posted it there.

[stanbernadino]

Ok sweet, I'll check it out. One good thing about that 4.3, you'll probably getting a lot better gas mileage than my V8, AND I have to run premium! (ouch!)

[flatvidz]

Yea but i still won't get great mpg. And fully empty it'll cost about $60 r more to fill it up. But what's the chances of me litterally running it dry? =P

Good luck though. I may put a 350 in my next project: a 1985 chevrolet c10

[stanbernadino]

85 C10, so what does that have now, a 305? What kind of mods are you looking to do on the 350?

[flatvidz]

I'm not sure exactly what comes in it but i know it's a v8. I'm not planning to do much to the c10's engine except clean it up and make everything look good under the hood. I'm mostly interested in just bagging it,swapping the rims,and painting it. Nothing too major to it. I was thinking about one day airbagging a trailer so it lays out though.. =P

[flatvidz]

Yea i want a turbo on it which is why i'm upgrading all the internals later. I'm pretty sure 21 year old pistons and stuff would crumble into a million pieces if u put a turbo on the engine lol. If i could i'd go as far as twin turbo because i've seen that on second generation blazers. Have you heard of s10forum?

[SimpleYetEffective]

S10 forum is pretty helpful sometimes,but alot of folks on there are total assholes!

[flatvidz]

I have one of me trying to crank it. I can't get any power unless i hotwire it to the coil and even then i don't get power to my spark plugs. It's being a real headache but for $300 cash you have ot kinda expect that. I love it though. And when i check it was said to get 150hp. I would love to pull the kinda horsepower you're getting but out of a 4.3

[flatvidz]

Nah...i'm airbagging mine and doing a bunch more to it then i'll get around to my engine. Even then i'm keeping my 4.3 and just rebuilding it with new internals and then putting some horsepower increasing stuff on it. I like the idea of 350's in first gen s10's but i'm partial to my 4.3

[flatvidz]

Did you used to have the 4.3 before u put in the v8? I'd race you but i've got the stock 4.3 plus mines in no condition to race right now =\

[flatvidz]

It's possible to drop it a little more but me..one of the reason i like 2wd. I like it though

[flatvidz]

I'm getting a nosebleed just looking at it. Drop it to the ground already.

[stanbernadino]

It's already lowered as much as it can be considering it's a 4 wheel drive.

[breakitdownx21]

wooooooooow nice.

[zchris87v]

Ah, well see if he feels like writing the instructions down, hehe.

[crew4045]

not sure of a top speed yet, maybe 110? (only a 3 speed w/ overdrive - stock)but runs a quarter in 13.5 on 33'' super swampers. the new motor (dual carbed 454) and tranny (6 speed auto) should be here in a few weeks. then it'll blow most anything away. also getting a 6'' lift for it.

[campaug]

how are you going to work that six speed auto? those are all controlled on a class 3 high speed data line, im not sure anyone has any tcm controllers yet for it but you would need a shit load of inputs, tps, input speed, out put speed. the good stuff. lemme know how that works.

[zchris87v]

Wanna teach me how to do this?

[gearhead275]

it's a sleeper

[crew4045]

where do you live at? i think im up for a race. i got an 88 gmc 1500 sierra 350, 670CFM edelbrock carb, edelbrock heads, pro comp cams, k&n filter, flowmaster 40 series exhaust with high flow cat back. dyno'ed at 417 but i got a lot more weight

[2manygangstacheeses]

i think you mean 650 cfm carb and a pro comp CAM you only have 1 cam lol

[momo671]

haha that looks like a border patrol truck

[ceamer]

i guess? lol. He did a great job on that. Awsome vid man.

[RaiseYourVoice777]

Next time, try talking!!Blazer looks like new on outside, good job!!

[RaiseYourVoice777]

Ok, THAT WASN'T ME!!!

lol. David was on MY account.

Anyway, cool vid...i guess. lol.
