Details

This 1971 K5 Blazer is a complete custom build with attention to detail throughout and a recently completed nut-and-bolt restoration. Thousands of hours went into this no-expense-spared unique build. The body was acid-dipped and then finished in Sikkens black and white paint laid over a laser-straight body. The frame was acid-dipped and then powder-coated black. This K5 is powered by a new supercharged GM Performance LT4 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 650hp and 650 ft/lbs of torque. This is the same engine used in the high-performance C7 Corvette Z06. The engine is mated to a 4L80E automatic transmission and is equipped with an advanced adapter to support the billet ATLAS transfer case. The suspension features Off Road Design leaf springs and a 3-inch lift. It has completely rebuilt front and rear 8-lug axles with 4.10 gear ratio to hold up to the supercharged LT4. The front end has a Detroit Truetrac locker and the rear end has an ARB locker with compressor. It rides on Detroit Steel wheels with 295x70x18 Goodyear MTR Kevlar tires. Some of the other highlights include Vintage Air, TIG-welded exhaust system, Rick's stainless fuel tank, stainless brake lines, Ultimate stainless headers, Performance Rod and Custom radiator, Billet Specialties front drive kit, custom-made Wegner Racing billet valve covers, CPP Hydroboost brake booster and custom-made air intake. The K5 has a custom leather interior done by the award-winning Jon Lind in black and white houndstooth. The dash, console and door panels are wrapped in leather as well to complete the look. The K5 also comes with a completely restored double-wall top finished in white. This show-quality build was done with the best available parts and a high level of attention to detail.
