Anyone build/run a first gen Trailblazer with a stock V8 5.3. Ive got a 2005 EXT third row seating with the 4th gen 5.3 which is being replaced. Solid black frame only rust is the bottom of the rear hatch is GONE. Truck is being built to derby dog, fair derby and twisted metal rules for Ohio. thanks in advance.

I am currently building an EXT that had a 5.3 but it was removed before i bought it. I put a 4.3 in it, 15" forklift tires in the front, removed front brakes, 16" tractor tires in the rear so I can still have rear brakes. still needed to shave down the calipers in the rear. rules allow to replace shocks with pipe so i put the front as high as it can go and made a pipe to replace the strut assembly. rear suspension is staying stock and bumpers have to be stock as well. should be tough, lots of crossmembers and thicker/taller/straighter frame than a durango.
