Rick, I you are going to pull a very heavy trailer--I would get something with
a longer wheelbase---
I would be suprised that you can get a big block "emmisioned in CA in the 82
Blazer---I would look at GM's new 383 crate instead---that with the right gears
and the correct size tires will pull pretty good---if you want to do and eng
swap---get a 71 back 3dr surb or and old blazer---then its legal to do as I
understad it
