For a 1979 Chevrolet Blazer with a small block 400 engine, the timing specification is typically set at 8-12 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) at idle, depending on the specific engine setup and any modifications. It’s important to check the vehicle's service manual or specifications, as factors like compression ratio and ignition system can affect the ideal timing. Additionally, always ensure that the timing is adjusted with the engine warmed up and running smoothly.

Will a Corvette engine fit into a 1979 blazer easily?

Which "Corvette engine?" I can only speak to the common small- and big block engines used prior to the modern fuel-injection era. But the only thing that made one of those common variants a "Corvette" engine is the numbers stamped on the pad at the front of the block. Sooooooo, if your 1979 Blazer is already equipped with a V8 engine you can just pretend it's a "Corvette engine," save yourself some cash and be happy. If you're asking whether one of the more modern (LT1, etc) engines will fit, well, there are many sites on the Web with information on various engine swaps.
