Someone has a sweeeet K5 that goes up to Horsetooth. He put the newer fuel injected big block in it and 4L60E, sooo nice. I think for the distances you will be pulling that you should be fine. You won't be pulling at 75mph up I-25 though!

I've already started thinking about the mods I can do to it. Might make it a small project car for myself, you know to work on in the winter when its not towing my boat . I was thinking about a fuel injected engine or at least a big block. We'll see it only takes money right ! Once I get the Tige out here I will have to look for the other K5 at Horsetooth and see if he has any connections.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, help and support. I think it really would have killed me if I had to sell my baby! And believe it or not but my wife has actually gotten supportive of keeping it.
Now i just need to see how much money she'll let me sink into the Blazer.Last edited by five o'clock; 05-24-2007, 03:55 PM.

Those big blazers have cheap body parts. I bought a 2wd one a few years back and got new fenders and doors for only a couple hundred bucks! Collins collision products sells the parts too I think. Just be careful, they can become money pits very quickly!
I will keep an eye out for you at Horsetooth and Boyd! Glad to hear that you are keeping the boat!
Here's my old 2wd Blazer after I lowered it: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1..._Side_View.jpg

problem is not the towing, it's just your going to get beaten up by the boat while towing with this rig. I had one and yes it towed it fine, but the boat really pulls you all over the road. I got tired of fighting, and bought a diesel. Just myOriginally posted by G-MONEYIt hurts me to say it but go OU but only for this weekend!!!!
