My favorite truck has always been an old school blazer. I want to slam it and put a bit of power under the hood. I had a 4x4 one back in high school and accomplishing that task was more work and funds than I had. So I sold that and got the 2wd truck that has evolved over the years. Well today I got a happy call… 2 dr, 2wd Blazer with a semi-solid body… for $150! I plan on putting in a simple v8 with a manual tranny. I’m gonna lower it, shave it, and paint it. We’ll call this the BEFORE pic: ![http://www.s10blazed.com/images/new_blazer_01.jpg](http://www.s10blazed.com/images/new_blazer_01.jpg) ---

Right now its a 2.8 auto. Guy I got it from said it only needs a flywheel and a brake line and its driveable. I didn’t even try to start it. ---

Also to swap it to a 4.3 will be the same work as swapping to a smallblock. Plus I don’t want the AWD that is standard with the typhoon or the electrical wiring. ---

I saw a swap in an old style s-10 pickup, using the tried & true small block, but with a NV3500 5spd tranny. Worked very well, for moderate power at best, but was easy & cheap. Keep that in mind. Good luck. Mike ---
