He is obviously scared of that many cubic inches. lol jk The reason he put the zz4 in there was he got a really good deal on it a year or so ago and had it "laying" around.

that is a clean blazer, this is my first truck of this make model and all that jazz so im learning quickly that pretty much anything can be done with these trucks. Im even thinking about adding dual tanks cause all the holes are there from the factory but yea bbc looks good in there. Like zeb said i had the motor just in the garage so thats why i went with it, i didnt think it would be so bad cause the hp and torque ill be getting. Just wont have that big block sound lol but i think after its all said and done it will be just as good....

with that being said made some progress on the motor and frame, have to wait and try firing it up next weekend had to buy fuel lines (braided SS) and egr and hot air choke block off plates, and then a new cab mount set to replace the rubber bushings (i determined that mine were way far gone when I started putting the body lift on....so all that will come in this week and be on this next weekend try cranking it up..and once i get it running the front goes back together with new fenders inner and outter..

here is some picks from this weekend

Looks good yeah that engine has good amounts of torque I wouldn't mind that over a big block.

still need to get the fender lined up better, and put the other new fender on and tie all the rest back together. Its just been slow cause I have been working on it myself. Parts should come in this weekend to run ss braided tranny cooler lines and going to connect the inline fuel filter was one short in my order of alum fittings and reroute it to a better location than behind the altenator, idk guess just keep on truckin

Ok another question regarding the ZZ4, I know this thing is just a cast iron 350 block with l98 heads basically I have a problem on my hands....I lost the power steering pump bracket and cant seem to find another factory bracket online I need to know what brackets will work and if anybody just knows of a bracket and year model pump ill just buy both since mine has miles on it and prolly should be replaced. Here is the problem after doing alot of research online I have come to the conclusion that many people have ad lots of trouble bolting stock power steering pumps to the zz4 cause of timing chain cover issues and Long vs short water pumps and whether the pump has a threaded or not threaded bolt hole. does anybody on here know anything about this?? Im to the point now that I need to buy a bracket in order to get my truck on the road and dont have any direction to go

that's a moon visor, most popularly made by a the Lund company. pretty rare where i am, don't know about other places. there are 2 types, a moon visor is a visor that has lights on it, and one without lights is referred to as a sun visor. usually run $150-$300 depending on condition/where you get it from
