So, I've fallen in love with this damn motor, my Silverado 1500WT Has a 4.8 LS and its a goddamn tank full of **** and vinegar, and i want to put one in my S10 Blazer now at some point

Is it possible to do and still have a "stock alike" experience, working gauges, MIL, etc?

 

Yes, see builds. Project Sleeper Blazer. Same thing - but yours no supercharger.

 

wew that looks complex as all hell, looks like i'll have to source a block first, cant seem to find concrete info on fitment and all that.
