    Hi to all,
    So I'm here after rolling my 2001 Zr2 down the side of a moutain. I have a wonderful 1999 GTP with most of the kinks worked out. Week 1 fixed leaking intake gaskets. Week 2, had to replace the cam and crank sensors (died while driving, always like 2 miles from work!) Week 3 replaced some bent rims and put on new tires. Ran good for about a month, got a pulley system, ZZP wires, plugs, thermostat, and hoses and just before putting everything on the frickin thing spun a rod bearing. SO, now I have a 2002 engine with all that lovely stuff, along with nice new bearings. All cost aside I love my car dearly. Happy to be here on the form and look forward to learning and helping where I can. Been fixing cars for a dealer for about 7-8 years, from Louisiana but now live in snowy Colorado. Thanks!

    hello.

    Id suggest you get some flow mods if you have dropped pulley size, because you're just going to grenade this motor if you dont.

    Haha, yeah, I loved the blazer but it had its own problems. Like vapor lock when offroading in the mountains. Glad to be close to the ground again

    That is the last thing I'm working on. When I replaced the engine I got another S/C and intake so I have those getting ported and I have a header set on its way.
