Default 82-94 SS blazer question

Did Chevrolet manufacture SS model blazers for the first generation (82-94) ?
If so, are they rare ? Are the engines modified ?

Nope, no SS for the S-series Blazer. This was only an option on the '94-'98 S-10 Pickups when the new body style went into production (1 year before the new body style on the S-10 Blazer).

Ofcourse there was the GMC Typhoon which were manufactured in '92-'93...
Both the Syclone and Typhoon (SyTy) trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 engine with forged pistons, main caps, head gaskets, intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All SyTy's had a GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 1372/4472 transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Both trucks featured all-wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Output was officially 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 ft·lbf (488 N·m), but some stock Typhoons have been measured at over 300 hp (224 kW) on a dynamometer.

I've heard of special edition Dale Earnhardt s10 blazers made back in the late eighties and early nineties. Could this be an Earnhardt edition?

A quick internet search came up with no results for an Earnhardt edition Blazer...

Anyway, I highly doubt it even if one does exist. All of the Earnhardt edition vehicles are outlandishly decal'd up for the most part.

Besides, this one just has a bunch of stick on effects (hood scoop & faux side vents).

I know there was a Sonoma GT for awhile...

Also, it could've been a dealer package...

This is actually a package created by Choo Choo Customs, I remember seeing at least one of these back in the day, because the thing on the door is actually a heat-exchanger from a 1978-1979 Z28 Camaro.
