i would say 350 is the most i would go, you would have to mod some things to get that in.

I thought 350's were basically a direct fit. Other than maybe new engine components (what is belt driven)......?

You can put pretty much any GM Small block V8 under the hood... except for maybe ones that are made for FWD vehicles.

Anyone got a shoehorn and a body saw? Those 572's are anything but "small". Would love to have one in my blazer though. Don't need it but i want it

.

Realistically any small block gm v8 should fit in just nicely with minimal adjustments. Heck for laughs get a 350 and bore and stroke it. Should drop in nicely and it will have gobs of power.

True enough, lol, but that's the most powerful SBC engine...

That still does good on gas, lol

You can put in "any" SMALL BLOCK CHEVY engine depending on how you want to use it after the swap I would recomend the 383 stroker!!!

Hmmm, would nto be so sure of that....we got a guy on S-SeriesForum.com working on a eco tech (sp?) swap on his 2.2l dime...

Also i would think about a D.O.D. motor....

With enough time and money, you could put pretty much any engine in there... but SBC's are by far, the easiest...

And yeah, I'm waiting until the price of active fuel management engines comes down before I make the swap...

i've been told that a small block is pretty easy, what about a ls1 or ls6,, that would be nice;)
i'm lookin at liftin a blazer 9 inches with 35's so a ls1 may be in the future;);)

The LS series of engines IS a small block... It's the replacement for the 350 block, it's got different mounts, though...

A Duramax might be a little overkill in a Blazer... but a Cummins 4BT would work pretty well!

The biggest challenge with an LS based engine over say the 5.7L SCFI Vortec is the wiring & engine management. The 5.7L Vortec motor can be dropped in and with minimal wiring changes and a PCM flash to the v8 firmware, you're in business.
