I may have a blazer frame on the cheap for you if you're interested, all I want out of it is the engine/trans/xfer case. hell come to think of it you can have everything but the trans/transfer case, it's a 2000 and I think I'd like to stick with what I know as far as the fuel injection and go...

cool, thanks for the input. a note on the 4.3 wiring: I'm pretty handy electrically, and am very well versed in 4.3's. I've been pretty deep into the GM S-series community for the last 4-5 years. Ideally, I'd find a 95 or older S10/Sonoma with a 4.3 tbi (holley 220). Hard to find with a 5...

I'm about to get an 86 XJ with a 2.8 and a 5 speed manual transmission from my little brother. There's currently a large problem with it that in my opinion is vacuum related. He says that it's more or less fine in city, but on extended freeway travel, it gradually loses power, stuttering and...
