Build story
I remember reading about a 4bt swapped Blazer back when I used to get Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazines in the mail. That article really set the direction of what I wanted todo with my truck someday. \r
\r
What started out as a simple swap turned into a quest for more horsepower. It started with adding timing and fuel. This in turn made the truck a lot more fun to drive but a total smoke show. This got me to research and build a compound turbo setup. This brought the top-end smoke under control but my EGTs were still higher then I would like to of seen. After watching a Banks video called “Gales Racing Secrets” it gave me the insane idea to cool between the turbo stages. \r
\r
Now the engine is out of the truck currently for firerings and a refresh. She might not be cheapest build but I did a majority of the work myself. Not to say that I didn’t have some help along the way. :-)
