Just a guess...

but with the screen name you've chosen I wouldn't expect a whole lot of help.

Just saying...

I would keep fuel injected if it was me. Id eventually like to do a fuel injected 5.3 in mine. I don't remeber who but someone on here has done a 5.3 swap. IMO you get your best bang for your buck going v8 unless you want to retain some fuel milage

havent planned that far at least for the next few years the blazer is going to be powered by the 4.3 i got alot of work to do to the truck plan to have it done over the next three years the first step is to do the engine i want. new internals any suggestions on crank cam pistons connecting rods all of it i want to know what would be my best bet for now but still gain me more power and be stong for when it gets supercharged next year.
