I am putting a big block in my 69 blazer have a few question and maybe some one could give me some good advise on problems iI might have.

do they sell front springs for the BB extra weight or do they sell lift kits that are for a BB in a 4x4.
what motor mounts do you use.

I haven't had a Blazer with a big block but I had a 72 K20 with one. It was installed with the small block mounts. The K20 was optioned with the HD Front springs (3 leafs) and seemed to sit fairly close to factory ride height.
