Survivor 1970 K5 Blazer 4x4 LS3/6L80E Twin turbo Flex fuel equipped
Body:the body on the truck is 90% ORIGINAL paint and 98% rust free.It has several dents and dings and shows its age accordingly.Most of the trim is dented up as well as are the chrome bumpers.To my knowledge the only body panel that is not original to the truck is the tail gate,but it has been painted and aged to match the truck almost perfectly. interior:Aside from the New Vintage gauge cluster,steering wheel from a 1992 GMC typhoon and a brand new Auto Custom Interiors rubber floor mat, the interior is 100% stock and in very good condition for its age.The passenger front seat has one small pin hole at the very front where you're legs would rest that is virtually un-noticable.The drivers seat as welll and the rear seat and all seat belts are very nice. Chassis:The frame is all original to the truck and 100% rust free.The front and rear differentials are original as well still retains lock out hubs that work perfectly,however,the front diff has been equipped with later model disk brakes,cross over steering and steering stabilizer all from a donor 1978 truck.Both front hubs have all new wheel bearings,seals,u-joints and ball joints.The rear diff retains the stock drum brakes but those too have been completely rebuilt/replaced.Its rolling on 15x10 factory GM rally wheels and bran new Mickey Thompson 31x10.5x15 tires Drive train:Late model engine and trans swap,40k mile LS3,and a 10K mile GM warrantied 6L80E auto transmission.The motor has been treated to a GM ZR1 camshaft,and PRC .675 lift dual spring valve springs,Holley High Ram intake manifold,welded smoothed and painted factory GM valve covers and a coil relocation kit.The radiator has been replaced with a new aluminum unit that supports the dual 4th generation Camaro fan assembly.The engine and trans perform flawlessly as they should and feed into a rebuilt NP208 transfer case which turns brand new front and rear drive shafts Turbo System:Twin Turbo System consists of 2 GM factory 2012 Camaro exhaust manifolds that have been welded and fitted with the correct flanges to bolt 2 GM Grand National turbos,which feed a Precision Turbo front mount air to air inter-cooler which then feed the C6 Z06 90mm throttle body to the intake manifold.All producing a very conservative and reliable 8 PSI of boost The truck is running on a factory 2007 Corvette computer with speed density tuning,and has been wired for a factory appearing and functioning Flex fuel system.Which means that there are absolutely no adjustments or changes needed to pump in either gasoline or E85 directly into the fuel tank. Odds and Ends: the fuel system consists of a 1992 Ford Bronco II gas tank that has been modified with a rear sump to feed the 2 walboro 255 fuel pumps and factory Grand National fuel filters before being wye'd together and feeding a set of Holley billet fuel rails.The motor was mounted using a Dirty Dingo replacement front cross member.while the trans was mounted using a slightly modified factory cross member. The exhaust system is 100% stainless steel dual 2.5" down pipes feeds into an SLP stainless 2 into 1, 3.5" tail pipe that exits on the drivers side and is probably quieter than the stock system this truck came with. The truck was built and tuned by Speed Incorporated out of Schaumburg IL,it made 491 rear wheel horse power on 93 octane and 525 rear wheel horsepower on E85.I bnuilt the truck to do it all,light off roading mostly at the Silver Lake dune are in MI,the occasional drag race but most of all to be a fun daily driver that I can hook my boat to an throw my dirt bikes in and just have fun.The truck is an absolute blast to drive and unless you are at wide open throttle or nearly it drives like a stock vehicle.I would not hesitate for one minute over driving this from coast to coast. I am the 3rd owner it spent all its life on the western sea board and that is the reason there is no rust on it.I spent the better part of last summer trying to find a truck that was a rust free as this one,and the payoff is here.I have quit a bit of original documentation from the previous owners that can trace it back to when it was new,or nearly new. more pics of the engine and entire turbo build can be seen at my photobucket account danimal95 is my account name the Blazer pics are on pages 4-6 recently installed center console and original 4 wheel drive selector lever that are not in the pictures I will not take low ball offers,by no means do I have to sell it an truthfully I'm not even sure I want to. Has less that 500 miles on current engine/transmission combination please fell free to email or call me with concerns,questions or other picture requests,I probably have another 50 pictures if interested please email me Dan 815-719-0756 more pics of the engine and entire turbo build can be seen at my photobucket account danimal95 is my account name the Blazer pics are on pages 4-6 |

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance
Thu, Aug 7 2014Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Chevy Spark EV could be coming to Midwest later this year
Tue, Jun 10 2014Ohio is not known as a hotbed of EV sales – if anything, the state is a bit anti-EV, thanks to a legislative fight against Tesla's direct sales model – but it might be on Chevrolet's short list to expand the market for the Spark EV in the near future. The latest official GM press release on the battery-powered Spark still says the car is "available exclusively in California and Oregon," but Hybrid Cars found four Ohio dealerships that list a Spark EV on their websites, with hints the the car will be coming to the Midwest state by the end of the summer. See, for example, here, here, here and here. But that's probably not going to happen, according to Randy Fox, GM communication's manager for passenger cars. Fox told AutoblogGreen that, "At this point in time, we don't have any official plans to expand the Spark EV beyond California and Oregon." The reason is that California and Oregon have the infrastructure to support EVs, Fox said, and GM wants to be able to support its EV customers. "We are continuing to look at other options," he said. "The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure" – John O'Dell John O'Dell, a senior editor at Edmunds.com, told AutoblogGreen that, "It makes sense for [GM] to expand sales and it makes sense to do it in a quiet manner, to get these vehicles on the road. The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure. If someone in my neighborhood has one and he likes it, then maybe I can trust him. So it's important to get these vehicles on the road." Chevy sold 182 Spark EVs last month, a significant increase over the 98 sold in April. That's still small potatoes compared to the 3,000+ Nissan Leaf EVs sold last month, but making the electric Spark available in Ohio, say, or GM's home state of Michigan could boost those numbers. AutoblogGreen called a few dealerships in Michigan to see what they had heard. One salesman said he didn't think GM had started production yet but the inventory manager for another dealership said the Spark EV is scheduled to arrive in the Midwest in "roughly the fourth quarter." What would GM's incentive be to offer the car in markets outside of California where it can gain ZEV credits with each sale?
