Default 1998 blazer 4.3L 4x4 to LT1

HOPE YOU CAN HELP......
I just sold my mustang for a blazer ( wife wants to plan for a family [:'(] ) anyways. I'm not happy with the low power in the 4.3 and was wanting to swap to a LT1 with a 700r trannie. is this posiable with keeping the 4x4? is there any sites that sell swap parts or can help? I have found tons of postings for 2x4 and i'm by far a chevy expert but found out that chevy is better to work on than a mustang.
Thanks
Jezter

When I read the article, I could have sworn that there was something in there about an engine swap out of a 1994 (I believe) corvette. I'm wanting to say that it was an LT1 engine although it could be a LT4 engine. It's been a while since I've read the article. Sorry I couldn't help you out much then.

LT-4 come in 96 vette grand sports only. it was an LT-1 but there are two version of the LT-1 that comes in vettes there the regular one and the one fot the ZR-1. the ZR-1 has more power then a regular vette

i just thought that i would mention that your tranny will work with a Small Block Chevy like the LT1 since they have tha same Bellhousing patterns.
