Earliest Magnuson blown "Trailblazer"
Here's a couple of pictures of my 2000 Blazer with the Trailblazer option package. Officially the earliest 6 liter Trailblazer with a Magnuson blower.
18" wheels/tires, 13" triple piston brakes, 3.73's front and rear, built 4L65E.
It's an LQ9, upgraded with Diamond forged blower pistons, ARP fasteners, a comp cam hi lift XR265, (either a 2.9 or a 3" pulley) and a host of other things.
It's been a long time since it's seen the highway!

They are stainless steel with Jet Hot "gloss black" heat treatment.

I've got all of the pictures. I'm building a page that I can post.
The blower is going to fit under the stock hood.
The tires are 255/50x18 Scorpions. AGR steering gearbox. SSB 13" triple piston brakes, Hydroboost. I'll include the specs on my build sheet.
Here are a couple more pics:
Headers being built:
What they're going to approximately look like on the driver's side: Driveshaft shop is finishing up a stronger, nicer looking front propshaft.
Brakes:
'Building the collectors:
Snake pit! (core transmission used for fitment) Headers will have at least 3/4" clearance from anything
Steering shaft/Headers;
Baffling inside oil pan (which started out as a Canton LS1 pan)
Interior shot...before:
During: (removed dash to modify the heater core...Stock core inlet/outlet came out right in the middle of the blower back pulley. Pulled Core, turned the inlet/outlet 90 degrees and used AN hose to run water to the core inside the truck over to the fender. Welded up the stock hole in firewall
Oil filter will go up under front bumper, along with blower radiator.
Hybrid motor mounts: Took S10 units, split the apart and inserted Prothane LS1 Camaro mount inside.
