Found a 98 lt 4dr 4x4 with leather an all, no motor, trans, t-case, an it needs fenders a hood and that upper front frame rail (radiator support?) and it has a clear title. It was offered to me for $100. What do you guys think? Its black and brown 2 tone. I want it to try an fix...

I'd pick it up. My father would think I were nuts, but that's besides the point.
If you can't find a 4.3 for it, a V8 would slide in quite nicely lol. That's if you want to do that. Needing a hood, if you went the V8 route, you could get the cowl hood to make room for the intake without the stock one collecting dust and being useless.

If you don't take it I will lol. That is a steal. Even if you just keep it as a parts truck for your Blazer (slightly different styles, but a lot of parts still interchange). And hell, you could even buy it as a project truck and do something crazy like stick a V8 into it lol. So much potential for such little money...BUY IT!!

Is there a V8 that will slide into the mounts or with little welding? i don't have access to a welder or the funds to have it done. But I've always itched to do that. 
And if i did a lift would soon follow. Now i wanna run down there and grab it. Problem is i lost my job and so I gotta scrape up the cash..
