im tryin to put a v8 in my 95 blazer. anyone have any ideas on what i can do....

 

theres so many different options and variables here. what engine/trans do you have in your truck now? is it a 4x4? what v8 you putting in it, big block or small block?

i did a 350 swap into a 95 sonoma a few years back. its really not that hard just hunting down parts took forever. they sell a conversion manual and if your really serious theres a few v8 s10 sites that can answer every question

THere is alot of info available for this swap. i'm in the prgress of getting the parts together to start building the 350 for my Blazer. However the only place I have found that sells the needed convertion parts so far is Summit, and for a package deal of headers, Oil pan and motor mounts for a 4x4 Blazer is a little over $700, so if your '95 is 4x4 remember that is will be a little expensive to do this conversion

 

you can use manifolds off like a 86 camaro. and if you reallllllllly want to be inventive you can make your own oil pan and mounts. seen a few write ups on them.

 

thats probably what i'm gonna end up doing, try to focus some of that cash elsewere on the truck lol

 

Jags That Run (JTR) has a V8 engine swap manual. You can preview some of the chapters on their website. It is not a straight swap just to let you know.

 

im in jersey so the inspection laws here are crazy,,,,, and keep hearing that the computer is a problem with the swap.. any body know what can be done or has been done with the stock 6 to get some power out of it, i know theres a ton of info on here but figured id ask. maybe a good cam

 

As far as a two wheel goes to make transfer plates for the motor mounts you'll need two 1/4in thick 6x12 pieces of steel get the whole pattern and bolt them drop motor tack the engine side mounts to the plates pull back out and weld them up solid best to do this with the trans attached to the motor the cross member that holds the trans will help locate your motor correctly... as far as fuel/fire the only thing you need to do is find a distributor out of a v8 it will have 8 magnetic pickups as opposed to 6 and like magic your now firing 8 cylinders fuel-wise you will have to take the single injector driver harness and splice in a 2nd one to go tbi you do not need to change ecm. if your using ur stock 4l60e trans you will unfortunately have to rebuild it...go into advance or autzone or whoever and say you need a master rebuild for a 95 350 pickup and get yourself a rebuild video or watch it on youtube.
