Trailblazer Ext I6 to 6.0L Swap
Looking at getting a Trailblazer Ext and can only find the 6 cylinder models. I was curious of how hard it would be to swap a 6.0L in it. I tried doing a search, but didn't get anywhere with it. I assume it would be as straight forward as swapping out the motor mounts and setting it in there. I wasn't sure what tranny they have in it and whether the 6.0 would bolt up to it. If anybody knows about this swap, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks. Tim

If I were to settle for an I6 version, the swap would be a while down the road. Just checking on it ahead of time. If it isn't going to be as straight forward as my 4.3 to 6.0 silverado swap, then I would probably hunt for the 5.3 version a little longer. I was thinking it might be the same tranny as the 5.3 version with a different bellhousing, but that was just wishful thinking.
