engine swap

i was wondering if i can do a engine swap from the stock 4.3L v6 to a 4.8L v8

Yes, all it takes is money. You can swap anything into anything really. Your budget is the only limiting factor. I'm thinking of a similar swap myself. :smile:

I knew it would take SOME money but I was also wondering how long it would take after i got all the parts and misc. parts to go with

and the air force is great

Easier to swap in a 350 (5.7)

Yeah but will it fit in a 00 blazer

Easily... Most of us with s10's/blazer/bravada/sonomas drop 350's into them... Grab yourself an LT1 or LS1 engine... Bolts right in then just redo some of the wiring and you're off.

It's very easy to get a 350 in the S-10 engine bay, but it's kind of tight. I was thinking of using the newer 4.8 because it's physically smaller than a 5.7, and I am kicking around ideas of a turbo so I need all the space I can get. :smile:

Ok so well I guess that I get more power and a little less engine bay space

Oh and my walet gets a little smaller to go with

a 4.8 is going to have very little power over a 4.3 (not enough to justify the swap) Now an LS1 or LT1 would definatly justify it...

Ok now for the fun part figuring out which one to use

would a chevy 350 ZZ4 fit in my 2000 blazer

Pretty much any 350 will fit into our trucks...

Ok I was just wondering thank you for the info
