Default RE: 305 into a 98 then?

The difficulties extends quite a bit beyond the wiring harness. The integration in the newer systems with the BCM (body control module) and other systems (ABS, Airbag, etc) makes it very difficult to just start swapping in parts. Your 95 is a very special (read messed up) year.

yep..messed up is right. Guess I'll just replace the 4.3 and look around for a good deal on another Blazer(2wd). oh well..wishful thinking. Thanks for the reply.

well i purchased the blazer today looks like this little project is official, funny how it went from wanting to put a new motor in my 95 to buying a totally different vehicle to accomidate the motor i found. anyways, what kind of wiring problems am i looking at, and the fitment is a slight concern as well. what kind of mods under the hood have to be done to get the v8 in there? and thanks for all the info so far, been very helpful.
