Question looking for some tips ( new here )

i have a 98 chevy blazer 4x4 L.S. i am thinking of taking out the 4.3 vortec and replacing it with a chevy 350 small block carb edlebrock etc. is this possiable without major major changes such as changing the axles or tranny my other concern is the headers if any one has done this any tips or tricks to make this transition a little easier would be a great help. I am kind of new here i hope this is in the right section.

use search. v8 swaps are more common than you think in these trucks (and even more so in the S-10)

Not sure where you live, but It will not pass inspection with a carb if you are in a inspection state.

As Curtis points out this is a fairly common swap. There is quite a bit of documentation around the forums on this topic...just do a search.
