    Finally got my brake conversion kit it. All it is is a stock thirdgen rotor, cut down to fit inside a ls1 rotor, and then a caliper mount bracket. Installation is fairly easy, just have to chop off the ears of the spindle the stock caliper mounts to, and then drill and tap the dust shield hols...

    In anticipation of my bolts showing up (hopefully Monday) i finished up the prep on the pass side of the block. Im very paranoid about the cleanliness of these bolt holes, being blind drilled and all, so i made up some... "Apparatus'" to help me get em nice and clean. Stock head bolt, ground...

    Thanks guys, i chose manual steering mainly to clean up the engine bay even farther. With skinnys up front, it shouldnt be a hassle. Also saves a couple more lbs. Blazer, im from lincoln, ne.

    I got this 5.3 for a steal. The next motor will be a full forged 6.0 (and will be a quad digit build) Chose the performer cause it seems to have better street manners, which is where this will spend most its time.

    Thats more or less a catch up to where im at now. ARP head bolts are on their way, and then i can throw the top end back together. Then its a carb (csu E85 750 DP blow through) and 800 bucks in fuel supply away from firing. Car should be good for about 750-800 on 10lbs at the crank, before...
