#2 of 3 Same generation engines. by duntov Sep 24, 2008 (1:09 pm)
It is easier swap to stay with the same generation engine and engine accessories.. S/T-10 Blazer, Generation 1: 1983-1994 .... Blazer, Generation 2: 1995 - 2005. In other words replace your 1997 engine should be replaced with Generation 2 engine.
