If it is the Same VIN code (W or Z) should work just fine just use your TBI unit. To be safe treat it like a long block and swap over all your existing Intake system and accessories.

that's kinda not nessasary.

there isn't any "Z" code in the 2nd gen trucks. but he is right, so long as the 8th digit is the same, it souldn't be a problem. but like he mentioned, you're more than likely going to need to change over all of your drive accessories on the front-including the brackets.

oh, so the p/u's engine is a Z code (TBI) then, not a W code (CPI) like in your truck.

looks like you've got an issue on your hands. the only way you're gonna have that new engine run in your Blazer, is to swap the top end from each engine.

that means you need to remove the heads & intake from your Blazer's engine, and swap it with what is on the "new" engine. which is quite a bit of work, for a used engine.

and no, you can't just swap the intake systems. the head-to-intake angles are different between the Z code & W code engines.



mind telling us why you're changing the engine in your truck?
