Re: Another Factory 396?
So what, still a clean beautiful blazer and obviously he's not trying to sell an all original vehicle with the list of other add ons he has. There are plenty of people out there that would still buy it even if the owner isnt as aware that the motor isnt original.

Re: Another Factory 396?
Original post doesn't ask for mine or your opinion on the Blazer does it? He's interested in whether or not BB motors were a factory option and they were not.

Re: Another Factory 396?
I wasnt aware I needed permission to state my opinion! I was just clearly stating that its a good looking blazer and the fact it has a non original motor that obviously most on this board know to be the fact isnt going to change the mind of most potential buyers out there. Its not like the guy is trying to sell it for a million dollars based on the fact its a rare all orignal 396 numbers matching Blazer. My point of my post was to say that not everyone is a purest unlike some on this board and the fact the OP brings up the other post about original BB motors makes it obvious that he's aware that a 396 wasn't a factory option and not a question of its authenticity.

Re: Another Factory 396?
I actually said it was nice, I love it and would love to own it. However if someone buys with believing it to be the original motor and I bet it goes for a lot of $$$ they will be upset when they find out a factory 396 was not possible nor was/is it truthful or factual in the eBay listing.

My intensions were not to be antagonistic but just to say not everyone cares about original authenticity or happens to know every little detail of every classic. I do agree though that people should do some fact checking before post something for sale. Posted via Mobile Device |

I'm not saying it's not a nice Blazer or that I wouldn't enjoy owning and driving it. But when you lie in the act of selling something that's called fraud. It wouldn't be a problem if the ad didn't say it was the original engine. |

Re: Another Factory 396?
I didn't say the seller was a liar, as that word has the connotation that the lie is intentional. I have no way of knowing whether the seller knows it's a lie or not, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. In this case, I doubt the seller is the original owner, and he's probably repeating something he was told.

Re: Another Factory 396?
He is aware...I sent him a message on Ebay........asked for a picture of the SPID.......haven't seen it yet. It is a nice K5, no doubt, and someone wanting a big block would be happy with it.........be great for trips from gas station to gas station......

If he's an honest seller, he'll change his ad and remove the "original engine" disclaimer. |

Re: Another Factory 396?
I had an Olds 455 I was thinking about putting in my Blazer. That's exactly why I decided not to. I wanted to be able to afford to drive it once it's done.

Re: Another Factory 396?
Went for under 19k seems like a good deal to me.
I know it wasn't factory but still a nice truck. PG |
