GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer for consideration. This Blazer is finished in a nice Blue Exterior paint over a Blue cloth interior. This Blazer is done up right from top to bottom; it features A/C, power windows, power locks, tilt wheel, custom built Dart SHP 427 cubic inch V8 Stroker SBC, internally balanced, bottom-end fully forged, h-beam rods, Mahle pistons, Milodon 6qt oil pan for SHP Stroker motors, 10.5:1 compression ratio, dart heads flowed to maximize performance for custom cam grind (.609 lift), full roller motor with solid lifters, dart dual plane intake topped with Holly Ultra HP 670 carb, electric choke, MSD ignition with 6al box and rev limiter, Hedman 1.75” long tube headers, 3” collectors, ceramic coated, dyno sheet just at 500hp/520tq, this is a beast of a motor and has just over 5,000 miles on it. Paired with the motor is a Coan Racing torque converter custom built to match dyno numbers, built 350 transmission with aluminum oil pan for extra oil capacity. The front diff has manual locking hubs, the rear is a GM 12-bolt/posi-traction installed including NP 203 with 2WD conversion, all rebuilt as well with final drive of 3.42
All new A/C with March performance serpentine conversion kit, electric fans on cooling radiator and separate electric fan on AC condenser, both run independent of each other when called upon. Wilwood front brake kit with new lines, this brake kit might be the best update of them all, - especially if you have experienced the original brakes. The interior is new with sound deadening on carpet and all floors including rear fenders, new modern radio and alpine speakers, custom built RPM gauge with integrated fuel gage that replaces stock fuel gauge in dash, new Mickey Thompson tires, original bumpers and headlight bezels have been re-chromed. This truck is in very good condition inside and out, the current owner only took this vehicle out on nice days and keep it in a climate controlled environment otherwise. All mechanicals on this truck have either been rebuilt and/or replaced. The goal of the owner was to have a worry-free reliable truck while putting out 500HP/520LBFT. This truck can lope around town, cruise on the freeway or break the tires loose with ease! This K5 is ready for whatever you want to throw at it! It is a true WOLF in SHEEP clothing! Lots of documentation is available with this Truck, please call or email us today for more information on this 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer.
