OK, I had a strange idea for my Blazer......

After spending $50 a week in gas for my daily driver for gas, I started to of ways to get my Blazer a little more fuel efficient. The original plan was to take out the 454 and turbo 350 trans and replacing it with a 350 Vortec EFI motor and 4L60 overdrive trans that I have from a 1999 Tahoe. I figured that it that should put me into the 14 mpg city and maybe 17 freeway. Then I started to remember the early days of the pre-runners. They were 2WD's that were lifted to look like like 4WD's. Since my Blazer is going to be a street rig only, I thought it might help out a little more with the mpg's I'll admit I have a little to much time at work to think of such things, but I was wondering what your thoughts were on such an idea.
