You can put in "any" SMALL BLOCK CHEVY engine depending on how you want to use it after the swap I would recomend the 383 stroker!!!

 

Hmmm, would nto be so sure of that....we got a guy on S-SeriesForum.com working on a eco tech (sp?) swap on his 2.2l dime...

Also i would think about a D.O.D. motor....

 

Oh and a 572 would be **** in a blazer....

 

With enough time and money, you could put pretty much any engine in there... but SBC's are by far, the easiest...

And yeah, I'm waiting until the price of active fuel management engines comes down before I make the swap...

 

i've been told that a small block is pretty easy, what about a ls1 or ls6,, that would be nice
i'm lookin at liftin a blazer 9 inches with 35's so a ls1 may be in the future

 

How about a duramax 6.6 turbo deisel? lol.

 

Lets downgrade and put a 2.2l out of the 4 banger s-10's

 

The LS series of engines IS a small block... It's the replacement for the 350 block, it's got different mounts, though...


A Duramax might be a little overkill in a Blazer... but a Cummins 4BT would work pretty well!

 

The biggest challenge with an LS based engine over say the 5.7L SCFI Vortec is the wiring & engine management. The 5.7L Vortec motor can be dropped in and with minimal wiring changes and a PCM flash to the v8 firmware, you're in business.

 

I'll let ya know how it goes when I can afford a donor truck, lol
