Hi,
I'm new to the forum but have looked at some threads about diesel swaps into S10 blazers. I have a 2001 and was thinking that a International VT274 would be a good choice for this type of project. This engine is a turbo charged and intercooled V-6 not sure of power or tourque on this one. They were used in ford LCF medium duty trucks which were cabover models.
Was thinking this engine as it is approximately the same physical sie and only slightly heavier than the 4.3. Was wondering if the original trans and transfer case would work behind this engine as I would like to keep the 4wd.

Obviously there would be some mods to suspension and possibly steering linkage issues. Cooling I dont think would be a problem as the radiator in the lcf is roughly the same core size so could use one of those, proly going to need a slim electric fan but may not.

Has any one heard of anything like this being done with this engine, any info would be great. just looking at the feasabilty of this sort of project.

Thanks.
