So I've finally decided I want to do a v8 conversion on my 4x4 Blazer. It's a '97 with the 4.3L. If I'm going to do this I'm going to do it right, so a junkyard 350 is out of the question. I'm either going to get a reman or get one from GM (I can get a discount because my grandfather worked there). But where would be the best place to get the motor mounts, oil pan, etc? I want to get the transmission and rear end beefed up as well, where should I get the parts for these? Thanks.

 

i bought all my stuff from a local parts store in town. they were like a smaller place, sold a lot of performance and add on stuff. the only special thing i think i had to buy was the motor mounts adapters, mine came from transadapt. used a corvette radiator and late 80s camaro manifolds. also im sure you can find all this stuff online, sorry cant be much more help its been like 8 years since i did the swap
