I dont understand what the purpose would be. The Duramax is designed for torque and hauling heavy loads. Something limited by the frame of a 1st gen Blazer. Somebody on here used a cut down late model frame with a Duramax/Allison that could allow the Duramax to be used as intended. In my opinion, a Duramax would be a novelty only, and an LS swap would be more practical and useful.
