I bought this POS in september, I'm on my 4th motor, Everything that could have gone out has. Finally it's a nice Sunday afternoon and i decided to take my wife for a ride for the first time in the blazer. I spent all morning finding an oil leak that turn out to be a plug that blew out of the passenger side dipstick.
(The new crate motors have a dipstick on both sides) Anyway we made it 3 blocks and the entire car shut down because of this and this. There was so much smoke that we thought the truck was on fire. Notice in the 1 pic the positive terminal is in 2 pieces. I didn't break it off it melted off. The wires, not the plastic were melted to the header.

To make a long story short.....when i was plugging the passenger side dipstick i knock the + wire to the starter onto the header. The rest is history. The battery is toast, but i cant tell about the alternator and other electronics.
