Hello all,
I've never posted in the hot rodding section of the forum before. However, I'm glad to say that that time has arrived. My M1008 will be receiving quite an upgrade in power and speed. I will warn those who wish to follow this thread that this is a long term project that is already under way. Following are the details of the build thus far:
6.2 from a 1986, 18,xxx original mile CUCV blazer with the following:
-rebuilt 6.5 heads with standard 6.2 J code precups (for fuel efficiency and better cooling water flow)
-all new bearings and bushings throughout
-turbocharger set up from 6.5TD with non-egr intake and GM4 turbo
-Melling oil pump
-6.5TD serpentine belt setup with air conditioning and vacuum pump delete
-high volume 6.5TD water pump
-Mahle gaskets everywhere
-standard thickness head gaskets
-ARP head studs
-Oregon Fuel Injection DB2 pump, tuned by them to match engine/turbo
-electric fuel pump
1994 4L80e from 6.5TD truck, 190,xxx miles and another 4L80e from 1995 suburban
-All new bushings and bearings
-new planetaries (more than likely, I've yet to tear down the transmissions)
-new frictions and steels
-new seals everywhere
-new sprags
-pump rebuild
-all new solenoids
-TCI automotive torque converter
-TCI automotive trans controller
-heavy duty trans cooler (most likely B&M)
-some form of shift kit, as of yet undecided
