N J Lesson Of The Day Tightening lug nuts
Nice video sir and thanks for not adding any goofy music to it and letting the cars do the talking
Cool Tool 👍😁
Outside is nice but whoever did you upholstery needs to be fired 😂
Good to see you there!!! Come back to the channel often.
I saw you in a car show
How is the mpg on did it change from the old set up
I lost about 2 mpg. But it was worth it, just for the look. Don't you agree?
The master cylinder is from a 2011 Camaro. Proportioning valve is a standalone from Wilwood.
cool build my friend. I have the blazer rear/disc setup. i'm going to the blazer front brakes possible c5 front brakes. what master cylinder/proportioning valve did you use?
Hahaha Santo in the Hummer was great! The mustang has 11s in her with a better 60' for sure. Very impressive.
That's for sure about the Mustang. Mike will be trying again on Feb. 1st.
Nice work
Love the go pro cam reactions. They are all stumped!! Your captions are good too.
Way to go
Thanks Steve. On my way to UA-cam greatness.
Nice blazing blazer. Went to the turkey run in Daytona, Fl with Tommy very nice sound and ride.
Thanks Joe😊
I thought I heard the torque wrench clicking with every stroke.
Maybe old bendy would have been better, lol Were the valve covers not baffled for pcv, is that why it was sucking so much oil? I like the air filter sitting toward the front better also but I don't think I could have made myself cut my hood. Also what did you do about the MAP?
@stevenbelue5496 Thanks for watching. The new Lokar valve covers are NOT vented for pvc on driver's side. I installed a catch can on the line from valve cover. Yea cutting the hood was scary but had to be done. The MAP sensor ties in to the large vacuum port at the rear of the intake manifold.
Beautiful Tommy. Your work is amazing.
Thank you so much 😀
When using a torque wrench don't use regular extensions, it puts ur torque out. Use proper extensions. Awesome content, just found this setup. Been interested my self , disked new style.
@Elyot James Thanks for watching.I did not know that about extensions. What would be a proper extension?
That is absolutely beautiful!
@Dustin guy Thanks. I really appreciate it.
It’s nice to,see some people,still like these things!
Excellent video showing the process of relocating the coil packs. I am building a LSX 427 in a 70 Camaro. Been considering putting the two separate (4) coil packs on the radiator core support brace down low, then running the spark plug wires under the headers onto the plugs with angle plug caps. The biggest factor for my project is the spark plug wiring route. I like your 4 coil mounts you made, That should work for my project.
@Idaho 2nd Gens Thanks for watching , I really appreciate your kind words.
Man it's clean I have a 4 door I want to put a 6.0 in it..
@ Adrian Mata Thanks. It's been a labor of love. All about the details and the best planning I can give it.
Very nice I really like it I was a bit disappointed when you said it wasn't a real 396. That would have been cool
@Gary Fraser I'm glad you like it. I get what your saying about a real 396, but too heavy with less horsepower and lower MPG with a carb.
Sweet
How fast she get up to on the flats?
LOL. That's great.
@@tommywestway ??? LOL No, I asked how many MPH did you get the bicycle up on the flats?
Vary nice build loving every part of it man amazing
Thanks and glad you liked it.
I'm glad you made it through Tommy. I'm in SE Cape Coral. I had damage also. But , we made it.
Thank you and good luck with your recovery.
Nice bike
Do you like the speed density tune? What ecu?
@Chris Parker Overall yes I like it. Though it idles a little rough. I will be bringing the Blazer by the tuner soon to try and work that issue out. Stock E38 ECU.
@tommywestway I had bought all the stuff to do this setup but got talked out of doing it by the tuner with a stock ecu an speed density tune. I like the look an was wondering if you had any issues.
How did you mount your map sensor?
With all those long wires, do you have any spark issues, miss fires. It looks nice, but how does it perform
That's awesome man!!! Good looking blazer!!!
Do you still have an MAF sensor?
@DonnyWonder No MAF used. Only a IAT screwed into the bottom plate of air cleaner. Speed density Tune.
Hey i forgot to ask... did you delete DoD on your LS3 by using the DoD delete plugs and reusing the oem "maze" style valley plate?
@awtc72 I only deleted DoD in the tune. The mechanical part of the delete will come out when I do the cam next summer.
@@tommywestway ohhh ok… thank you. I plan on plugging mine with the cam swap. And keep the valley plate
Looks awesome, love the engine bay... Im doing a LS3 carb like look for my 72 Chevelle. I prefer the old school look too.
i did my motorcycle wheels with this powdercoat gun 5 years ago still holding up great
Why the 2001 blazer front spindles?also we're those spindles a direct bolt on or did u have to modify them to work?
@Patrick dubuc I was going to replace the old spindles with 2" lowered ones. I found out on UA-cam that the 2001 Blazer ones have better built in bearings in them and I get dual piston calipers to boot ( the old ones were single piston) best of all they bolt on with no mods needed.
@@tommywestway so everything on a 01 blazer spindle, caliper fits? Same with booster and master and rear end axle?
@@damnitdang yes, the spindle ,caliper and rear diff is bolt-in from 01 Blazer. The brake booster and master is from the 2011 Camaro that I got the engine and trans from.
@@tommywestway is the rear diff axle same width? 89 blazer ebrake cable connects to 2001 disc location?
@@damnitdang Axle width is the same. 89 Blazer ebrake cable will not work with '01 disc brake, cause old ones were drum brakes. I do not run a parking brake on mine. Auto trans does the parking duties.
I’m so very sorry for the mess Ian left behind for you and your lil pooch!! Hope you have some friends/family to give some assistance! Our street also had @2’ of water but our house I guess sits up high enough that it didn’t reach our front door.
We live in Venice and saw what you saw that day. North Port makes the news again! We had minor damage with soffit n fascia blown off with water coming into a guest closet from the foundation; we thank god we had a new roof installed in April!! Our old cage help up surprisingly while a few others on our street weren’t so fortunate! Thnx for sharing your scary experience 😬
What size rear tires?
Rear tires are 245/50/17 The fronts are 215/50/17
@@tommywestway stock frame or backhalf.
@Andrew williamson Stock frame boxed in on the inside and C notched.
U must be from NY because u don't stfu
So so sorry for your loss😔
@Dianne Mckoy It's OK. We are some of the luckier ones. Thank God. There were others not to far from here, that had 3 feet of water in their homes. Gotta keep smilin'.
@@tommywestway great attitude 🙏🏼
Glad you made it through the hurricane ok Tommy! You have a cute house there! Good luck getting everything back to somewhat normal soon!
@Therese Amick Thanks for the good thoughts and thanks for watching.
Yay Blazer!
Which section of North Port are you in, or which cross streets? Great video!
@ Claudia Hansen Thanks. I'm in Country Club Ridge section off of Mckibben Drive.
@@tommywestway thanks! I will look it up on a map. We don't live in Florida but have friends near Cranberry Fields. You sure worked hard to clear and right everything. Glad you yourself are ok.
Just build Deltec house standard for long term investment.
Hey Tommy, glad you and your dog's made it safely thru the storm. I know it can't be easy, but your back yard is looking so much better already. Loved your video. Stay safe brother.
@Randy D Thanks. Glad you liked it.
I’m glad your ok now. God was certainly with you!!!
Glad to see you and the Blazer made it out okay 🙏
@OutragedOwen I was worried for a while. Thanks for watching.
Where do you get that powder gun please?
@ALSA CORPORATION It's a 20 year old Craftsman gun that I bought at a yard sale.
@@tommywestway Hey thanks. Best diy powder coat
So I’m just curious, is the bracket meant to mount to the motor mount or whoever you want? My turbo set up, because of heat, is killing my coil packs and I’m trying to see if I just want to make my own. Because I don’t have the D510c/D508 coil packs. The truck ones like I’ve got are wider and won’t work with their set up
Great job on the blazer love it
@Randy Helzer Thank You. I really appreciate it.
Proud to call this man my "Everything Car" mentor; teacher & friend. Generous with his time ; talent & knowledge . Here you see the product of all that. 🏆💥🚀 Sincerely- Car w/o radiator
Well.... Thank You. I really try hard to keep things as realistic as possible. and spread my know-how to others. I know where the flaws are in and on my Blazer. I'm just a hard working honest guy. In the end, you really just have to please yourself.
