When I Switch To 14 Bolt Rear On My 89 Blazer And Until I Change To Disk Do I Have To Make Any Upgrades To My System ( Master Cylinder ) To Handle The Upgraded Drum Brakes? Or Will My Original System Work?
 
Your original system will be fine. You can also get some disc brakes for relatively cheap too.
 
The only thing I've had problems with is the rear brakes like to lock up the first few times I use them in the morning so you might have to mess with a proportioning valve... but then again your blazer has more weight over the rear end so you might be fine.
 
i did the 60/14 swap and using the stock master cylender... just make sure those rear brakes are adjusted perfectly a hair off and you lose half your pedal cause of how big they are. i prefer the drums this thing stops on a dime
