72 2wd Highlander need advice

[Blazerowner]

Nice Blazer. I’m swapping in an ls3 in mine along with a 4l80e. I personally thought it over and since I’m keeping mine I don’t care about the original 350 it had. I think if you were going to sell it then originallity would be important as it likely would increase the value. My highlander covers are currently being made by vendor truckseats’ source. I’ve been waiting 6 months but I know they will be worth it. Once you deck the engine during a rebuild the matching numbers will be lost. Of course I’ve never seen anyone worried about a matching numbers Blazer. Maybe that will change?
