new blazer!!!
ok so my 89 s10 blzaer's engine seized a few weeks back and it sucked. well yesterday i got a 1996 blazer with the 4.3 vortec in it but the tranny is gone in it and the tranny in my 89 blazer is still good so wut i was wondering was is it possible to take the tranny out of my 89 which has the 4.3 by the way, and put it in my 96. both have column ****ers (if that matters) any feed back would be greatly appreciated thanks yall

id get a 4l60e from a yard possibly. getting that one rebuilt is gonna run you 1500-2500$ easy.
its a pain in the but to remove/reinstall, but doing that part yourself can save you ~300$ or so. hope it helps!

That depends on what your 89 had originally. If it had the 4.3L, then any 4.3L will bolt in (along with any GM v8 for that matter).
It will be a MAJOR pain to get a complete 97 engine to work in your truck though. Your best bet would be to use the short block, using your heads on up. And even then, I am sure you will have to customize some things due to the changes in the block between those years.

The design of the engine has changed a LOT since the TBI motor you have in your truck. Search for "Andersen" and you should turn up an article entitled "Rebuilding the 262" that will go over the changes from the TBI motor to the CPI motor. More changes happened in '96 with the SCFI motor.
