i found the lost pieces that i would need to repair a broken crank on my newly aquired b2000 but i also got a line on an almost free 93 s10 blazer that would make a perfect donor for a engine swap. i have never driven this mazda and want to know if it will be a dog or not. i was driving a isuzu today and almost got killed. just want some opnions. so let me have em
oh i would love to make it into a solid axle 4x4...

Do the swap! b2200s and b2000s are complete dogs as far as power goes. I am swapping in a 4.3 into mine as soon as winter gets here.

yep its the 4.3 but the guy said i got bad gas mileage. totally weird but he also said it was the "4.6 litre" and that he wants to convert it to an electric car and weird stuff about string theory. (he is WEIRD)

The 4.3 is an awesome motor, i have an 89 s10 blazer with a swapped Vortec 4.3, mildly built, the thing eats most cars around, and its a burnout machine. I would say go for the swap... i have a couple 4.3's around and was thinking about doing the swap myself.
Is the s10 blazer a Square body or a Round body (93 was a split year) is it 2wd or 4x4?
