Hi!
This forum is a great idea.
I am reviewing my power options for the time my 2.8 dies. Hopefully I can get some hard data from someone who has done this already. I currently have 195,000 mi on my Blazer. I have thought hard about a 3.4L transplant from a Camero or Firebird . I have a 5 Spd tranny.Will this bolt up? In another thread, I read where there appeared to be some computer chip incompatability btween the present set up and the 3.4 install. Is there anftermarket chip or some recalibration that can be done? Also will I be able to retain the present power steering, alternator and A/C brackets, etc. LastlyI think in the interests of reliability I will stick with my present TBI although MPFI is intriguing but I suppose the computer is the limiting factor.
This little truck and I go back a long way and I can't bear the thought of trading it off, especially since I think it can be the equal, if not the better of a 4.3 newer rig that I will have to finance.
I appreciate your constructive suggestions and advice.
