Building a new daily driver to replace my current one. Its an 1984 s-10 blazer. I got it this spring as a wreck. It needed a fender bumper and hood. After getting it home it lost oil pressure and quit pulling. I yanked the motor and trans and started cleaning and painting everything. I pulled the motor and trans out of another truck i had. It needed a different trans and motor mounts. Frame was cleaned and painted using oven cleaner and pressure washer. Cheap paint from walmart. Motor was cleaned using oven cleaner and a pressure washer. Painted using Vht engine enamels. Cast iron grey and cast aluminum. All the wiring was seperated cleaned and reloomed using new covering. Headman headers, transdapt mounts, on a custom exhaust. Heres a few pics to show where im at with it. Hope to have the motor in it tomorrow afternoon. Like to hear it run for a minute but it might not happen.

Still aint driving it yet but the ac is gonna work. I had to clearance the radiator support to move everything forward about 2 inches. I relocated my ac condenser in front of the core support. Also found my aluminum brakets for all my accessories. Fan is a two speed gm unit from a 93 olds 88. It flows a ton of air. Heres a few pics of the core support after test fitting everything. Also included a pic of fitting my headers and custom fit plug wires.
