Duramax in '77 blazer?

[Bigtard10]

For a while now ive been thinking of ways to get more power. i currently have a chevy 350, it came with a carb from factory but TBI was installed. should I get a high-end gas engine or a duramax?

Plenty of work to put a Duramax in it....Russell on here is the guy to talk to about that swap!

Will that frame even support the weight?

Duramax is only around 850 lbs dry. No problem for these truck frames to handle them. The wiring is similar to an LS swap. You'll need to upgrade to a 1/2" fuel line. They fit actually quite well.

And I got a 4x4 frame for Rene's 6.2 sitting here for you Russell! Prime for a Duramax swap!
