There is a couple hundred miles on this LS conversion, it sounds like a beast and runs very well. Starts up with ease and idles with a nice chop, it's very easy to drive, it cruises at 80 all day no issues, turns heads and gets thumbs up everyday.
I took over 12k to do this swap including parts and labor. 2500 in the upholstery, 2000 in wheels, 2500 in drop, and the initial purchase of the Blazer is over 5k. I am missing a bunch of odds and ends. Needless to say, I have over 25k in this very solid hard to find K5, not including any of my time, it's ready to go cruising around the country. My los, I just want someone to appreciate it and enjoy driving it.
