5.3L-Swapped 1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer

This 1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, featured at LS Fest East 2021, was originally purchased to be flipped but quickly became a family project. Its owner installed a reliable stock rebuilt 5.3L engine with a BTR cam, paired with a 4L60E transmission. The Blazer stands out with its replica red and blue strobe stripe scheme inspired by a 1975 GMC Indy Hauler, riding on unique 22” Detroit Steel Delray wheels. Modifications include a Holley mid-mount front drive accessory kit enhancing engine visibility and clearance. This build balances classy aesthetics with practicality for cruising.
