98 Blazer engine

Hey folks, I have to replace the engine in my son's (17 years old) 1998 Chevy Blazer 4X4. It is a 4.3 L 262 W engine code. There are many different remans, new, replacement engines out there and I thought I would get a little feed back before I purchase one. I'm sure some of you guys have done this before and I don't want to make a bad choice without any info.

Thanks

Dad of a teenage son.

Re: 98 Blazer engine

GM performace parts sell a 50 state smog legal Vortec 383 for replacing your engine in 88-98 body style trucks and blazers/tahoes, there not that expensive and come with a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty, Or are you talking about a small blazer not the tahoe if it is the small s series blazer run a 4.3 from chevy same warranty as noted above, or put the 383 and find vortec sfi injection and re program cpu.

Thanks Scott, I found a Proformance 4.3 V6, 3yr, 100,000 mi warranty, same engine code. Should be a direct swap and work with the cpu.
