new Blackjack pics

Thanks to Rick and all the moderators who make this such a fantastic site ;)

In case you're slow (or just don't want to read the entire thread) Blackjack was totaled by foreign POS mother #$@%er who didn't know how to yield on November 14, 2007. He rolled into a gas station parking lot and his body was crushed, but he saved my life in the process. In return for that, I've saved everything that I could scavenge so I can save HIS life. He has a CHP 347, rebuilt 4r70w with Baumann shift kit, Ford Racing BD-11 supercharger kit, and a RideTech parallel four link all waiting for installation :) Here's his original thread post:

Blackjack: Born February 16,1998 in Louisville, Ky. Rescued from Koons Chevy March 20-something, 2000 with 33,333 miles on the Odometer. Couldn't think of any good names and then I heard 'Blackjack' while listening to Brooks and Dunn's Boot Scootin' Boogie. He's been 'Jack' or "f#%^&$ pain in my @$$!" since then. His favorite hobbies are eating money and hunting Blazers, and he enjoys playing pranks (dropping hood on my head, chewing on his power steering rack, mystery squeaks, randomly starting himself up, etc).

All factory options, including 4.0 SOHC, limited slip diff, 4:10 gears, skidplates (on ExplornJ's truck now), sunroof, cass/cd player and changer, leather, blah blah.

~Throttle cable zipties
~Chopped front bumpstops
~Mr. Bat (gave up on replacing blown hood shocks. It's a Das Frem thing, you wouldn't understand)

I run Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w30 and only use Ford filters (Fram ones sometimes knock)

You want to get it poked and stroked of course.:D

Thought you could turn it around didn't ya?

Are you referring to her or the 302 :D
 






who deleted my cartoon? thats lame :thumbdwn:
 












Get any work done on the front end? Come on, I've got the greatest comment EVER saved up for you :D


Lights are IN and have been in for some time.
Zorro should get painted this week I am hoping.

It has been delay after delay. Paint booth broke, then we had a day long power outage, then the painters mother died, so paint shop is WAY backed up. Me being an employee and not an itchey customer gets bumped back some what. Here is hoping...

Any questions? :D
 












I think you need to donate that to Porter :D
 


















Thank you, Jt :) Cripes. I post a picture of my new 347 and don't even get that much iggernant commentary. What's wrong with the world today?! :p:

That is a Coast High Performance StreetFighter 347 long block with Trick Flow StreetHeat heads, roller rockers, and Stage 1 cam; Forged crank and all CHP bearings & seals, plus Fel-Pro gaskets. The ex-owner was running a Vortec Supercharger at 5lbs of boost through a C4 trans, which dyno'd at 520 horsepower. It has 1,420 miles on it but never saw the track, so unfortunately I don't have any 1/4 mile times for it. Just in case anyone was wondering.


:D
 






And I've already had to smack Porter with a large stick. Repeatedly.
 


















oooh, its beautiful....
can i touch it?
 






How much shipped to 80015?
