Operation hell blazer....
...has begun. I am going to put a 408 in my wife's 6 TB. It had a 5.3,it is 4x4 nonEXT. Are there any suprises I need to be aware of on these trucks? I have built several Fbody cars. This is the 1st time I have played with a truck.
It is going to be a mild aplication at first. I will be using the upper end of the 5.3 to go back on. I know it isn't optimal. I have to do this whilst I have the shot.LOL Or the wife will NEVER let me do this to her TB.

im sure the rear end will need changing, the tb's differential is tiny compared to the larger engines...
oil pan? will u be using the stock 5.3 block as a start? or your own block? the oil pan from the tb has the transmission housing bolts in located on them.. u will have to re-use or might run into clearance issues installing the transmission.. maybe as well might need new motor mounts...
this is all what i can remember from my trailblazer days... check out the forum above for more answers!
Goodluck and keep us posted, it should be a sweeeeet tb!

LOL For now. I have been wanting to rip into this truck ever sense we bought it. It being my wife's car and me having my Ta she would not let me near the damn thing.
Now that the engine is conveiently blown, I have to move in a manner that will not draw attention to what I am doing. So I am going back in withthe factory heads and intake. I have a nice cam going in that isnt overly aggressive soo the factory stall will still work.
I just pulled the upper half of the engine off and it is ready for the cherry picker. It was pretty simple. The injectors are a bitch to get unplugged.
