500hp 4L80E swapped Trailblazer SS gets fixed and then sold to make room for more projects.

Published 2022-04-26
Today I fix the last thing wrong with my 5 year project TBSS.

I bought this truck as a roller (no engine), almost 5 years ago. This was my first LS project and I learned a lot about the platform after swapping in 4 different engines. From oil starvation to getting taken on a junk long block.

The truck currently has an iron block 408 stroker, LS3/L92 heads, a huge cam and a 4L80 with a 3200rpm stall. It regularly tows car, boats and tractors all while making a very streetable 500rwhp.

The truck is finally completely sorted out and looking great. Which means its time to find it a new home before it breaks again. I hate to see it go, but we need the space for more projects.

  • Damn!! I want one of these trucks so bad!! That is a beautiful truck! One day, I will.
  • Wow, this video has been in the can as film people would say. JR'S entire Turo fleet was still there.
  • This video was a nice surprise tonight. Glad to see Josh back at it. I hope you are doing well Josh. Look forward to the next projects.

    Hope all is well, Josh. This video is just what I needed for tonight!
  • I drove a long ways to a salvage that advertised a transmission cross member. Then the mechanic said he NEVER had a rusted out cross member when he installed a Reman Transmission. Hilarious.

    That Chevy needed to leave 11's in someone else's life also... Sad to see it go but a change is as good as a holiday! Welcome back!
  • Not sure why this video escaped my attention. I'm sure someone is having a great time owning that beast.
  • If that SS had 6 speed manual it would be the perfect driver, and whole lot of fun.

    I got a 2004 Chevy Trail Trailblazer LS 80000 miles needs a front windshield detailing 2500 cash
  • Wow, what a beast. You’ve done all the things to that truck and made it a monster. It just needs a newer corvette transmission with all the overdrives to get the rpm’s down when cruising. Whoever gets it next will have a hoot with it.

    Hope you are doing well Josh. Great to see a new Fractured Rooster video!
  • Great to see you back Josh, missed your videos. If you didn't like putting gas in the Blazer before you would really hate it with current gas prices.
