I just bought a 86 blazer 4X4 and the tranny is taking a shit on me so idecided to go with a 350 swap as soon it dies. Now the Question is how much is this going to cost.Can i still keep 4X4 feature. Any help would be cool cause iam new to the v8 world.

advanced adapters will be able to supply you with the adapter you need to to bolt just about any gm motor to any gm trans and maybe more. i would guess advanced adapters.com

Alright, you need a new motor and a tranny... im not very sure on the 4x4 part but im thinking it will still work with a stock tranny... or u might have to get a diffrent style tranny for the 4x4. I have a Chevy Vortec 4.3L V-6 and matching tranny that I might possible sell .. I wouldnt go with the V-8 in the blazer, its a little to much power unless you are towing or swamping... You might feel the need to go a lil fast and flip that baby if you know what I mean. Oh yeah, if you go with the V-8 then you might have to do a little bit of work with the firewall unless you are having it done by a pro. Take time and think wisely....

for a complete 350 swap you need the motor, tranny, custom header, electric fans, corvette radiator, custom motor mounts, smaller starter, and a few other things other wise your in for a whole lot of trouble. check out s10forum.com there is a lot of info and a lot of owners of v8 s10's.
