Firing Up The LS-Powered Chevy Blazer 4x4 - Horsepower S15, E1 

Rick told me after he left Muscle Car Tv that when he moved, on the freeway it got right about 22mpg cruising at around 80mph, not bad for a v8 4x4.

Can Scott come back for more episodes? He adds life to the show

That tracker is pretty cool honestly

I upgraded my alt from 85 amp to 145 (Ad-244 tahoe lines up) 1 cell bigger battery And welding cable for wiring The rear has no seats ..its a bed platform for camping ..Love my 05' blazer

I'm retired military I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4×4 4.3 LS and it's rusty I bought it for 1500 I have a vision of doing the same thing y'all are doing here I want to restore my truck and make it very unique

I did this swap in 3 days running and driving . If you do your research it’s really not that hard . Hardest part was exhaust because the headers I bought didn’t fit . Modified stock manifolds . Also i do have a rc 2.5 lift which gives you a bit of diff to oil pan clearance .

Great job guys

ANDY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS BUTCHERING THAT TRANSMISSION LOL. I LEARNED FROM THE BEST, PRESISION TRANSMISSIONS.

Would like to do this to my 96 4x4 sonoma ext. cab.

That's the beautiful est lil o truck there !

Would love to get a late 70s skyhawk or starfire, monza . And drop a ls into it

I want a magnum TVS 2650 on my 2014 Silverado L86

I got a small block Chevy in my S10 thinking about LS it just don't know wen yet

So cut up the oil pan and motor mounts and the manifolds instead of a body lift... I'd go with a body lift and Camaro stock 20s.

Wonder if the oil filter was still easily accessible, or if it could/should have been mounted remotely?

I know its a hard job. Its a real hard job to do this swap. They did make this harder than it needed to be though. If you are gonna do this, ask yourself a couple of questions first. 1) Do you want to take the time it needs to do it? You need at least 3 to 4 weeks, even if you have all the parts. 2) Are you prepared and have all the tools you need to do A LOT of custom Fab work? There is alot involved in massaging and making things fit without rigging things for sake of expediency. 3) Are you doing a stock replacement or just mild mods? This is where the project usually falls apart. Unrealistic expectations.

What accessory drive kit did they use, part number-wise?

What do y'all do with these vehicles when you're done with them?

aaaaaaaand that's why I am going with a 350 Vortec in my 2WD jimmy.......yup LS is alot better but its a PITA to bolt in.

Do y’all do that for other people?

We like Scott. Keep him, so when you’re in S10 trouble, you can say “Beam me up Scotty”! Lol!😅🤣🥲 When I did my S10/LS2 conversion, back in ‘08, I actually used Current Performance too. However, his(Current Perf.)fan relays never worked correctly. Had to get a stand-alone unit from NY that has two(2) fan speeds. It was the missing link.

I wonder where this truck is.

313 Detroit What

Lol Mike is funny as fuck

Wasn't Scott the dude who built a lot of s10 LS swaps? I use to be in the ls scene long ago. I think he lives in Tennessee if that's him

Would rather boost the stock 4.3. Looks clean in the end though.

those blazers were not ment for a ls swap in the first place

I need help !!! I'm disabled and I blew a head gasket on my S-10 and Don't have the money to fix it !!!!

a tracker with a corvette engine and Dodge stripes.

not a good place for the computer on recovery tank... one crack and its all over...

I love how these old videos go through hell to swap a 4x4 blazer to ls cause it’s not hard they make the swap kit dumb asses

All sounds great unless of course, you live in California where none of this is remotely legal.

VATS sux

Nice build & looking good! but Copper coated aluminum? no thanks.. Haven't we learn anything about Aluminum and drawing a ton of amps through it?

Just do a 350 swap. It's much easier and the 350 is a better motor in regards to durability, longevity, and simplicity

use a la engine out of a 4wd truck .splved

I cringed when the air saw was aimed at his nuts.

I appreciate the work you did and all your install parts in your truck looks very good but your comment towards a minority is very upsetting, and you posted it without bleeping out your crude racial comments.
