Probably a stupid question here so just bear with me. I own a '97 Blazer and I am in the process of having a rebuilt 4l60e put on it. At work today I told this girl about what I was having done to it and she said that she had a Blazer at one time and she had the tranny changed out and 3 months later the engine went out. She went on to say something about it being because the tranny was too strong for the engine. Now I could understand it being the other way around, where the engine is too strong for the tranny. But this really makes no sense to me. Could someone please verify that this girl has no idea what she's talking about? Or if it's true could someone explain to me why?

 

lol no. 4.3s are 200hp +/-

same trans are behind ls1s etc 350hp+


she just got into bad luck.

dont worry about it.

 

The engine was probably on its way out when the transmission went. Maybe it was running hot which killed the trans. and then it killed itself.
