did the 72 model blazers or any 69-72 blazer come with a factory 454 i got a guy who has one an says you can run the numbers an it supposedly all orginal . im looking at it for parts an im trying to figure out what its worth . no motor or tranny maybe a 4 inch lift an 35 bfgs . it has good doors an looks like a decent tail gate an a few more other odds an ends the tub is pretty much shot .an it has no front sheet metal

Sacramento70 · 10-10-2009, 09:23 PM

no as far as i know 69-72 blazers never came with any sort of Big Block but C10 did

AJs72K5 · 10-10-2009, 09:28 PM

Nope. No factory BBC in a 69-72 K5. In fact, it takes a fair amount of modification to get one in cleanly.

Long Roof · 10-10-2009, 10:21 PM

454 was not offered in anything for those years. It didn't exist yet (for trucks as Tom clarified).

Burt4x4 · 10-11-2009, 01:39 AM

What!!! I have one in my 72!

Oh wait, I put it in not GM hahahah Just messin!

No BBC in any 4x4 pre72 Blazer or PickUp! Not exactly sure when the first year for a 454 in a 4x4?

I throw in a BB into my 71 2wd and there's no any modification to be made on it, other than getting a set of BB motor mount and brackets !

Blazer1970 · 10-11-2009, 06:49 AM

No Blazer or Jimmy ever came from the factory with any big block of any displacement. Not ever.

csa daddy · 10-11-2009, 07:40 AM

thats what i thought but e kept trying to tell me it was a factory bigblock

**Tom Vogel** · 10-11-2009, 10:29 AM

The first 454's were offered in the Cevelle, El Camino and Monte Carlo in 1970... they were LS6's... the next car to get it was the corvette in 1972... the first truck was 1973 and it was a smog POS.
No Blazer camme with a BB. If however that is a pre 1973 block, Id snag it just for the motor... YOU "run the numbers" though

csa daddy · 10-11-2009, 10:41 AM

You could get a 396/402 in any 68-72 2 wheel drive from the factory. It was the 4x4s it wasn't offered in. You can actually set a big block on the small block mounts.

csa daddy · 10-11-2009, 03:40 PM

right im trying to figure out a price for the blazer .i offered im 200 an he didnt like that so i told him to let me know what he wanted for it an he said that he could sell it to the crusher for more than 200 what do yall think it is worth

Long Roof · 10-11-2009, 07:26 PM

I don't know about the crusher thing. Steel price is still down the last I heard. Last vehicle I took in, which was a stripped burb, I walked out with a check for $25

csa daddy · 10-12-2009, 09:08 AM

yeah i know its like 6.50 a hundred right now

I'm looking for a fresh motor for my 1970 C-10 2-wheel drive. And there's a 396 BB for sale close by...what all would be entailed in pulling my 350 and installing the 396? Would I need new housing to bolt to the 3-spd?

Run the numbers on what? If the motor's gone, how are you going to run the numbers anyway?

I think the guy is just trying to scam you with something he's heard somewhere. He probably doesn't even know what it means.
