Up for sale is my S-10 Pro-Street Blazer. It has a 383 Stroker motor with a TH-400 trans with a switch pitch converter. A button on the shifter selects either 2000 or 4000 stall. It has a Ford 9in. rear with 4.10 gears, posi and disk brakes. It has 2in. drop spindles on the front. The body is in good condition. There is a small rust spot just behind the drivers side rear wheel and a couple small dings but the doors shut solid. The electric windows work well and the car sits very nice. The interior is very nice. The Cyber-Dyne instrument panel lights up but I have not tried the stereo. As you can see from the pictures the front clip is off the car. The previous owner was going to put a fiberglas front end on it. I was planning on a 2in. cowl . I do have all the original parts. Including  a Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and separate trans cooler. Because of  a lot of different reasons the car had to sit for several years. During that time mud dauber wasps set up home inside the engine. That is in two of the cylinder bores. Which is why the engine is apart. I was hoping I could use a hand hone to clean the bore but now I think it would be better to remove the block and machine hone the cylinders. The previous owner told me the engine has less than 500 miles on it.  The engine is still very tight with no ridge in any of the cylinders. The car was originally built as a high 9 low 10 second street car using a Pro charger so the bottom end is very well built. It's a full roller motor with Speed Pro roller lifters and Lunati rockers. It comes with brand new cnc'd Pro Comp aluminum heads with guides and stud girdles. A new Holley Street Avenger 770 carb. All polished billet brackets, valve covers, breathers and pulleys. A new chrome alternator. A new water pump and chrome air cleaner. New gaskets and stainless socket head hardware. There is also a very well built set of tri-y headers. It has a Victor Jr intake. This set up should get 500 hp. Now for the reasons I'm not doing it myself. First is a 1988 Mustang GT and the other is a 1970 SS396 Nova race car. Both run but both are very needy. Anyway the Blazer is an excellent car that for a bit of time and effort should be an absolute beast on the street.  E-mail any questions or if you want to talk I can give you my phone number. Also because of the amount of loose parts every thing can not be packed inside the car for shipping.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

Next Chevy Silverado could get this built-in tailgate step

Thu, Feb 2 2017

General Motors just received patent approval for a tailgate step in a pickup bed. And given the timing, don't be surprised if you see this on the upcoming 2019 Silverado pickup (not the mention its GMC Sierra twin), expected to arrive in late 2018. According to the patent, granted in December of last year, the whole mechanism is housed in the tailgate assemble. The magic happens when a portion of the top half of the tailgate swings down and a step folds out. There's also a handle that locks into position to help climb up into the bed. As trucks get bigger and taller over the years, it gets harder and harder to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution with the 2009 F-150 was a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. Back then, Chevy made an ill-advised ad highlighting the feature for Ford. And while Howie Long mocked the F-150's "man step" Ford saw almost a third of its trucks with the option in the first year. The GM design seems to improve on Ford's idea as it appears to be wider and has a back to the lower step. That is, you don't have to worry about stepping through the ladder-rung design as on the F-150. Ford's tailgate step later spread to the F Super Duty, and other cargo access assists have proliferated through the truck world. On the most recent redesign, the Chevrolet Silverado took a trick from the Avalanche and added cutouts to the corners of the rear bumper that act as a foothold. Ford also offers a deployable side step, Chevrolet has running boards that scoot rearward with a kick of the boot, and Ram offers fixed wheel-to-wheel side rails. Nissan is in on the game too, with an optional folding step that tucks under the rear bumper. We don't expect Chevrolet to comment on when or if we'll see this feature in the showrooms. But given that engineers are already hard at work on the next Silverado and the timing of this patent lines right up with the new truck's development cycle, we'll be disappointed if this patent stays in the file cabinet.
