Trailblazer SS engine?
Has anyone used one for a swap? Theres a pretty good deal on a trailblazer ss engine with 4l70e trans.
It has a different intake manifold, exhaust manifold, accessory mounting and also has a belt driven fan. The accessories I was told mount like the chevy trucks. Oh ya also the oil is different. Anyone have any experience with this engine in a c10? I'm just worried that i might run into problems not having a vette, gto or camaro engine. |

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
Yes it is an LS2, but the intake, exhaust manifolds, accessories and oil pan are all different, just wondering if I will run into a lot of problems using this engine vs a vette, camaro or gto engine?

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
for the oil pan I would use this http://www.jegs.com/i/GM-Performance...ductId=1221210 it comes with every thing you need for the swap. The exhaust manifolds will work well

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
Thanks Flaming. What about intake with hood clearance? Issues with accessories being in different order?

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
Agreed. The TB SS engine will work just fine. Maybe just have to swap oil pan. i believe those have the high mount a/c compressor so no frame clearance issues either. Wish I had a TB SS LS2 instead of my 6.0 LS out of a 01 truck.

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
I have a build thread on here with one, mine was out of a awd so I have to change the trans and had to swap the oil pan, I used the one that flamingbig10 mentioned and it worked fine. All accesories are the same as the truck engines except the power steering. The trucks power steering tank is a little bit different and might have to be swapped to a truck one, I haven't got my engine mounted yet to know for sure but seems like it might be a problem. The stock manifolds will work fine. I'd just make sure it's a 2wd rather than an awd, because it requires a lot more work and money. If you have any questions just ask.

Re: Trailblazer SS engine?
Vandal,
I am running a 6.0 LS2 out of a 2005 SSR which is made on the Trailblazer platform. Mine has the low mount AC compressor which I am using but it took some work. I used a late model truck oil pan and it fit fine in the truck. The Trailblazer exhaust manifolds hug the motor closer than the standard truck ones and fit great. I had to change the PS pump to a remote tank. Plenty of hood clearance. I am using the stock SSR tune with a few tweaks. I even used the cats and exhaust system all the way to the back of the cab. You will love it. Good luck. TR
