1994 Dodge Ram 4x4 w/all the goodies. Fabulous truck (My daughters if she graduates high school w/decent grades)

I don't know why they didn't, it bolts right into the small block void with out any trouble. In fact with the air and cruise in place you would swear it came from the factory.

I made the bumpers, and welded the seams completely. I have fittings and a guage attached to let me fill them up with air. If I don't air down too much I can get 2 tires back up off of one bumper.
I believe you could get the 454 in a 3/4 ton blazer. Not many of those around, make sure you hang on to it! I don't have my Chilton's with me today, but if you look in the front you can compare your VIN # to the chart to see if your engine is the original. It should also tell you what tranny, whether or not 3/4 ton, etc.
I believe the 3/4 ton Blazers had the K10 desigination instead of K5.
Take a look and see, I imagine you have one of those. (JEALOUS IN NC)

I wonder if you like put some nerf bars on it, and aired those up, if it would like, make it float or something...
I own a 1983 Chevy 2wd 6.2 diesel 4sp manual. Plain jane but it'll go through the snow much more easily than my Mustang.

I'm trying to post this again, It lost the text the 1st time.
I currently drive a 1986 S-10 Blazer 4X4
5 in. lift (Body and Suspension) 31X12.5x15's on American Rims Double tube bumpers front and rear nerf bars CB, full set of AutoMeter guages and a 500W Kenwood Radio It has the 2.8 V-6 (for now) with a custom ground cam an an edelbrock intake manafold. The headers and exhaust system were custom built. For a V-6 it doesn't run bad but the plans call for a 305/350 swap soon.
I'm looking for other S-10 owners in the North Jersey area to possibly form an all S-10 club. If your interested feel free to e-mail me at med4...@hertz.njit.edu.

Sorry, I'm not in your area and am just wanting to pester you with questions.
I'm looking to buy a used S-15 (I'm a G.M. man) pickup and modify it for off-road use. It will also be my daily driver, so I'm not looking to be too radical. My questions are:
How is your truck off-road? What kind of lift have you done? How was it done? I understand suspension lifts are expensive for the IFS. Are 31's the largest tires it will take? (I don't think I want bigger anyway) Did you modify the fenders to take the bigger tires? Would you intake/exhaust system be legal in California (which our government is threatening to copy.)
Did you look into fuel injecting yours? Would buying a fuel injected version of the 2.8 make a difference in performance?
What (in a nutshell) is involved in the engine swap your thinking about. Would a 4.3L swap be easier or cheaper.
I know that that is a lot of questions, but any input/advice would be appreciated.
Finally, I tried to E-mail the above to you, but it gave me some error message, so I pasted it here. Sorry to wast bandwidth.
BTW, I oen an 1992 S-15 4x4 Jimmy that I don't like taking off-road and a 1983 S-15 2WD pickup that I wish was a 4x4.
