hey i raced my buddys 93 blazer with the v6 vortec and that ****er beat my RS 1/8 mile. i was wondering how that motor would perform in a 3rd gen. and also does anyone know the displacement?

thanks

 

How was your launch? Do you have headers? gears? with either one of those you'd score the win. Getting back to your question, it has been asked many times before and it probably wouldn't perform as well as you hope.They displace at 262 ci. Albeit a hopped up 4.3 is really no joke. I plan on building a 4.3 powered TBI t5 4.10 geared drift camaro in the near future. From what I believe there has been a few here that has done the swap.

 

i used to own a 93 s10 blazer with the 4.3 vortec and that thing took off pretty quick i beat alot of people off the start but once there going past 50 they don't go that fast but i did have it to 130 on the freeway one time which was really stupid lol but if you have 2.73 gears in your car like me then a vortec blazer would probably win in the takeoff until we hit about 40 to 60 then i figure we would pull past.

 

ya i have the stock 2 73 gears no headers and he launched on me out of this world!!!! i started to inch up towards the end but damn. that ****er really is fast in 1/8 mile.kinda made me feel bad but its all good.

 

yep, the gears alone would give you the win then.
