This is a package deal 1983 turbo diesel k5 blazer 4x4 - 1985 diesel 3/4 ton suburban 4x4 - 6.5 military diesel engine The 1983 blazer I have owned for the last 4 years and have done a lot of work to it. Installed a banks side winder turbo and a 2 1/2 “straight exhaust pipe without a muffler. Sounds pretty mean! Replace the head gaskets and head bolts with the better 6.5 gasket. Replace all the gaskets on the engine. Completely disassembled the exterior and repainted the truck. I used epoxy primer sealer as my base coat and two coats of Polyester Primer. I than sprayed two coats of urethane paint over the primer. The color of the blazer is a flat Gunsmoke Metallic with flat Twilight Black Metallic trim. All the Twilight Black Metallic has a chip guard underneath it. The 700r4 transmission went out about a year ago and has been sitting in my garage ever sense. I have removed the drive shafts but just have not found the time to remove the transmission. The u-joint in the rear is completely gone and will need to be replace. I have removed the two almost new batteries, alternator and installed them in the Suburban. The power steering pump squeals from time to time so it will need to be replaced. The steering is a little lose but not treble. On the rear driver side wheel well I slid into a tree and it removed the rock guard but did not do any damage to the body. On the passenger side behind the door someone more than likely one of my kids ran into it with something and took a chunk of paint out. It is only about 3/8” round. I had seats from a 2003 Tahoe in it bur took the front seat out for a different project. The rear seat is still there. The diesel Blazers are getting hard and harder to find. This truck motor runs great and was a blast to drive and with a little work it will be an amazing Blazer.
The 1985 3/4 ton diesel Suburban is in great shape for being 29 years old and only has 144,000 original miles on it. The mile indictor is a 6 digit read out which I have never seen on this vintage of vehicle. I bought this truck for the parts but could not being myself to cannibalize it. It is just too nice. Last summer I drove it around a lot took it to Utah and back to Colorado. It was about a 1500 mile trip and it did great. The ac even worked last year, I haven’t driven it at all sense last summer. I do start and run it though its gears about once a month. Starts right up without any problems. I pretty sure the injectors need to be replace. It blows a lot of black smoke. The power steering pump is bad. It has some minor fluid leaks. The paint is flanking off just like all gm of this time period. About 99.7% rust free. The transmission shift good and it runs down the street straight.
The military 6.5 diesel I bought as a rebuildable engine about 4 month ago. I was planning on building a kick ass 6.5 engine. But life though me a curve ball and now I have to move to Utah. I believe it is a Navistar 6.5 diesel the holy grail of 6.5. This came in a shipping container that the lid weights about 350 pounds. I have not found the time to remove the lid to confirm the true identity of the engine. I am about 95% sure it is a Navistar because the picture I saw of the motor showed the side of the valley having the 506 with dots on both sides but the engine was somewhat dirty and I could not see the base of the valley where the Navistar logo would be. From another picture I could see the back of the motor under where the flywheel would be the casting date code looked to be -15H. Any time the letter comes after the number it is a Navistar cast. Gm had the letter before the numbers.

We really want to use an eCrate to restomod an old GM car. Here's what we'd build
Fri, Oct 30 2020You hopefully saw the news today of GM's introduction of its Connect and Cruise eCrate motor and battery package, which effectively makes the Bolt's electric motor, battery pack and myriad other elements available to, ah, bolt into a different vehicle. It's the same concept as installing a gasoline-powered crate motor into a classic car, but with electricity and stuff. This, of course, got us thinking about what we'd stuff the eCrate into. Before we got too ahead of ourselves, however, we discovered that the eCrate battery pack is literally the Bolt EV pack in not only capacity but size and shape. In other words, you need to have enough space in the vehicle to place and/or stuff roughly 60% of a Chevy Bolt's length. It's not a big car, but that's still an awful lot of real estate. There's a reason GM chose to simply plop the pack into the bed and cargo area of old full-size SUVs. Well that, and having a rear suspension beefy enough to handle about 1,000 pounds of batteries. So after that buzz kill, we still wanted to peruse the GM back catalog for classics we'd love to see transformed into an electric restomod that might be able to swallow all that battery ... maybe ... possibly ... whatever, saws and blow torches exist for a reason. 1971 Buick Riviera Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: If you’re going to build an electric conversion, why not do it with style? ThatÂ’s why IÂ’m choosing a 1971-1973 Buick Riviera. You know, the one with the big glass boat-tail rear end that ends in a pointy V. Being a rather large vehicle with a big sloping fastback shape, IÂ’m hoping thereÂ’s enough room in the trunk and back seat to pack in the requisite battery pack. That would likely require cutting away some of the metal bulkhead that supports the rear seatback, but not so much that a wee bit of structural bracing couldnÂ’t shore things up. The big 455-cubic-inch Buick V8 up front will obviously have to go. Remember, this was the 1970s, so despite all that displacement, the Riviera only had around 250 horsepower (depending on the year and the trim level). So the electric motorÂ’s 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque ought to work as an acceptable replacement.  1982 Chevrolet S10 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: OK, so the name "E-10" is already taken by a completely different truck, but let's not let labels get in the way of a fun idea.

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
