Default Older 4.3 in newer Blazer

How hard would it be to put an older 4.3 thats got a carb on it into a newer blazer one thats like a 96 or up? I found this: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e...o_results.html and this: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e...all/index.html

I would like to but an engine just like this one and put it in a newer blazer Im just not sure about wiring as i still want all the elctronics working

What would you shell out a lil more cash and put in a v8?

The rest of the truck will not be happy. There is a lot of talking between the various modules in the 96+ (even more in the 98+) trucks.

Ive always liked having something different then everybody else yet still being able to slaughter most any car I see at the quarter mile

Would you suggest I start with an older blazer? Im not sure if they make suspension handling parts for the older Blazers much do they?
