re-powering the blazer
 
1 Attachment(s)
i really don't want to throw a bunch of parts at my 25 year old motor so I've been looking at crate motors to go along with my 700R4

Any suggestions ???

I've had multiple Ram-Jet 350s and have loved them. Great torque, great mileage and all around easy install.

At some point I suspect i'll need a new engine in mine. My upcoming projects in no particular order (apart from first one) for the next few years:
- FIRST - Check hubs and entire driveline to make sure its all in good condition and efficient (ie allegedly free hubs aren't turning front driveline and costing MPG or damaging stuff)
- New gauge cluster
- Rack n pinion steering
- Fitting double stick shifter for NP 205 (do people use front wheel drive for road driving with this fitted?)
- 7004r tranny for decent mpg
- New engine , maybe if needed.

I love the Ramjet in mine, but the good ole LS swap is a proven winner with lots of support.
