big block help
Hey guys I need some help, a friend of mine just got a blazer w/ a bb. It isn't installed yet and he's wondering what it is going to take to get it in there. I don't spend a lot of time in this forum so I figured I would ask the experts.
Thanks Ian |

Re: big block help
If you change the transmission at the same time for a longer one, such as a 400 instead of a 350, you can move the engine forward. This will prevent having to modify the firewall, which is a lot more work as Yukon can tell you. If you add a longer trans, you can also leave the transfercase and transmission mount in the stock location, eliminating having to relocate more stuff and having to modify your driveshafts. Do a lot of research before hand, so you can decide what route you want to take, as far as modifications go. Go luck on your big block swap!
