So I looked at this engine today and the build sheets and the dyno sheets.He said he just lost his job and needs to pay rent.So what do you think a kick ass motor for my k5 or not.

Seems like a pretty high rpm engine for a blazer.

Around these parts that is a smokin deal. RPM's Depends where and how you want to drive. That ain't no crawlin motor

I enjoy watching 6k rpm crawling.

That is a good deal though, can always switch the cam out for something more tame if you prefer, we built a similar type motor for an old mud truck my buddy had, had to constantly work the clutch, but when it hit 3500, thing would get up and move. Depends on what you like, I personally love a 2 stroke and wont own any new 4 stroke, or any 2stroke with a powervalve for that matter, cuz I love the power band of them. If your into that type of HP and RPMs, go for it. Nothing to lose but drivetrain parts and maybe some pride. Both easily replaced with more MONEY.

That cams not that big you should be fine.look up the cam specs and rpm range listed.or go by the dyno numbers ,torque is higher then horse power.

Well, at least he's taking off those flamed valve covers...



For the price it seems like a totally solid deal.
