More photos and details on the “Monsoon” build.

This project combines performance, drivability, and modern reliability into one complete package. Equipped with a Tinker Dash, CalTracs suspension system, and a Holley Sniper throttle body, the setup is designed for both street presence and performance.

Under the hood, it features a Texas Speed Chopocobra camshaft, polished 243 heads with 660 springs, trunnion upgrade, chromoly pushrods, new cam/rod/main bearings, and freshly gapped piston rings for future upgrades. A high-pressure Melling oil pump ensures durability and consistent lubrication under demanding conditions.

Power is delivered through a built 4L80E transmission with a ported separator plate and 2500-stall torque converter, paired to an 8.8 posi rear end for dependable traction.

Suspension upgrades include QA1 coilovers up front, a 4-inch rear drop, and chassis refinements that provide both improved stance and ride quality.

One of the standout features of this build is that it still retains factory A/C—proving that comfort and performance can coexist. Some custom fabrication was required to make everything fit seamlessly, but the result is a clean, well-executed build that rides as good as it looks.

LS swapped 99 Blazer. We’re calling this one the “Monsoon”. This should’ve been Chevrolets version of the GMC Typhoon. It’s packing a 500hp N/A 6.0L with a 4l80e transmission. Backed by an 8.8 rear end with 3.73 gears. Powering the system is the Holley Terminator X Max. Also replaced the stock gauges with a 10” Tinker dash. Using ICT billet brackets for the accessories. Installed wheels from a 2015 Camaro to give it a stock appearance and some Caltracs to assist with traction
