If it's what you want I say go for it. Should look nice once body dropped and on air.

It wouldn't look right with lambo doors on the front and suicides on the back... It'd look nice, but make sure you have the go to match the show. Biggest reason I'm not muscling up the exterior of my Blazer. 190bhp on a good day isn't much to brag about.

That's where my 5.3L vortec comes into play about 4 years (at least) down the road.

I say it'd look good but it's up to you if you wanna spend the money.

Do your 350 swap and bag it first. Your suicide doors can be the icing on the cake before a good paint job if you still have cash to fling around.

off topic: Body drop? Careful, my grandfather had a 1st gen S-series and the body mounts went (involuntary body drop lol), and the body ended up sitting on the tranny and caused some serious vibrations. That, and I've heard you'll need a cowl hood or a 2" body lift to make room for the extra height of the 350, so a body drop may be out of the question for you. Can anyone confirm?

Suicide Doors... eh... Lambo doors.... eh...

GulWing doors... ftw...

But seriously.. if you have seen a blazer with doors like you speak of... and YOU liked the look of them... then go ahead... No one will disown you.. its still a blazer...

It could be worse... it could be a ford... lol

If your thing is suicide doors than do it. It is your truck. A representation of you. Would definitely be a head turner!
