Colorado Build Project: CODERED

[Code Red]

sick truck man. keep us updated.

what kind of intake are you going to run?
heads/cam?

probably swap to a LS style intake manifold, cam yes which one dont know, heads i'm staying with the factory 799 heads for now since I read they are about the same as the factory 243 heads

Oh snap... coderedz24 is becoming part of the LSx world!

Looking forward to updates!

You still have the Cavalier?

sold it last weekend which is how i got some money to finally buy a v8 lol

hey, about a brake kit that someone mentioned. If you have your colorado set up for the silverado ss rims. Is the spacing the same on a trailblazer ss? I have a TBSS and there is a baer big brake kit I believe. Mine at the moment is a stocker, warranty isn't up at the moment.

i know the trailblazers have a different bolt pattern so I think i'd have issues. SSBC makes a kit but it is pricey. I may just swap to a factory silverado rear disc setup or a H3 setup.

Will they even bolt up though? I wanted to pick up a pair of H3 or silverado disc parts, but i havent had the spare cash to try it.

I have glanced at this project a few times, but never took the time to go through the whole thing. I love these trucks, and this is the coolest one I have seen. Well done dude.

Well I was thinking more along the way of taking a silverado axle shorten it to fit and then redo whatever needs done to mount it in there.

Mishap the other night

Blew my rear passenger tire out






also whatever screwed my tire also shot up through the plastic inner fender and dented my bedside from the inside

[Six_Shooter]

WOW. That's pretty harsh.

Couple updates since my last one

Brought the engine back home a couple months ago before I left for Israel





Picked up some new tires







LH8 oil pan for the V8



Painted behind my grill







I'll have a few other items coming when I get back from Israel

One thing I need to fix when I get back is my exhaust




And this past week I bought a FAST LSXrt intake manifold, the one pictured is not mine but it is the same exact thing
