Response:
Due to someone crossing five lanes of traffic in front of me without looking I need a new 4X4 ride. A friend told me about a 1981-87 Blazer a fellow worker of his has for sale. We went and looked at it this afternoon. (I can’t get up with the owner until Monday). All the info I have on it is that it is the ‘81-’87 body style, Diesel, 2-door, towing package, auto, power windows, power locks, fair shape. (It is not an ex-military Blazer). Here in coastal NC I don’t go surf fishing when it gets close to or below freezing, as I have a gas GMC pickup for a daily driver below, cold weather starting problems with a diesel are not a concern. What can you tell me good and bad about the diesel? I have a lot of experience with Chevy/GMC trucks but never with a diesel. If its too bad will a small block bolt up to the transmission. I have plenty of small block gas engines that I put in power boats, if I need to drop one in it.
