68600 headers with copper manifold gaskets and aluminum collector gaskets. Dual 2 1\4" pipes with 2 magnaflow cats and two Flowmaster 40's heading out each side of the rear. To quiet if you ask me. The right side pipe crosses over at the driveshaft allowing you to drop the tranny without removi...

The primaries aren't that small. Same as most but with a thicker flange than most. It's the collector bell that is small. It has like a 2" diameter that can be modified for more.

The only problem with the AWD thought is the front diff that goes in these vans. I've broken both the diff and axles with the 4.3. So that is something to keep in mind if you build a high torque motor like you suggested. I must mention that I have a 4X4 transfer case so I have more torque going to t...

I'll eventually post all the wiring when I know it works but there are only a few wires left over that don't do anything. Two out of four wires at a relay, three out of five wires that went to the linear egr, one knock sensor wire and the two wires that went to the IAT. All easily capped and bundled...

What a freakin day! Murphy was with me the whole time. I got everything rewired, extended wires, added wires ect. All soldered and shrink tubed. Did everthing that needed to be done in order to try and start the engine. Here is how it went: 1. No fuel pump. Checked voltage at the wires. All was good...

Sounds like Dean is saying if you are going to use your rig for a daily driver and off road you will want the shackles at the rear for a better highway ride. Clarify Dean as I can't tell from your post.

Ok, I was WRONG. Just tried my 97 seats they are different. According to the GM manuals: 1.Disconnect the J-hook at the bottom of the seat back as follows: a) Fully recline the seat back. b) Disconnect the hook-and-loop fasteners at the bottom edges of the side bolsters. 2. Reach inside the seat. Re...

Don't push, BANG! I take my left hand and hold the armrest pulling it back slightly. Then I take my right fist or palm and bang it in. Pushing didn't work well for me either.

The conversion vans are basically cargo vans. The conversion company usaully just adds carpet, ect to the steel access panel on the rear doors. Passenger models have the rear doors covered just like the front doors. Try taking off a front door panel with the door closed and you will know what Blazer...

Sorry I'm late but all you have to do is bang the armrest in and push it back at the same time. Then wiggle it off. It's very easy once you do it. It will go back past it's normal up position about and inch or two. It's funny, when I was with Witman40 at the junkyard I decided to show him how to tak...
