Ive been lurking for a while and remembered I never put up a picture. (this is all I have on my iPad)

I'm working on a 1988 s10 Blazer.
It took 3 of these trucks to make 1.
I built my first engine from a Hot Rod magazine article and it worked out well to the tune of about 400 hp.
over this weekend I added another 80 hp or so but with all the snow, ice and slush it's not going anywhere soon.
so after I cut a hole in the hood I am starting to rebuild the front suspension. I am planning on autocrossing as we are gtting a new track here soon and there is a great autocross scene here in Edmonton
The lowering springs I used ended up being for a 2.8 litre s10 so very soft. It bottoms out very quickly.
Anyway I will add a lot of pictures once I get to my office computer.
Cheers

Very nice and I think you will like it here as there are a lot of really great guys with a depth of knowledge I've not found anywhere else. The is one nasty looking SBC and welcome to PT.com. Seems to be a lot of really cool cars in Alberta. :)

Hello Todd,
Just followed your link and i see you're doing a great job on your camaro.
I wish I bought my Blazer in Vancouver when I lived there as they are hard to find here without the rust.
I spent more time on my engine as I know I can move it from vehicle to vehicle. These little trucks are so much fun when they are dialled in suspension-wise.
Anyway, youre right about finding great guys on here as last night I sent a PM to one of the members here who has a blazer with a great suspension set up and he's already sent me back a reply to help out. (I had met him once at a local gas station last year and was sure I would run into him again as he said he was from the neighborhood, but never did)
I actually googled "auto cross s10 blazer" and it led me to a pic of his truck and this great site.
Can't wait as this year I am definately joining the local autocross club.
Cheers
