Yes, the 97 Blazer used the 4L60E automatic transmission or NV3500 manual transmission, both of which are common applications with the 350 (the 4.3 V6 is the same block as a 350, minus two cylinders). However, if you plan on turbocharging or uprating that engine by other means, the 4L60E or NV3500 may not be rated for the torque it produces, and you might want to consider swapping in a 4L80E or 6L80E (automatic) or NV4500 (manual) transmission. Keep in mind that these will not be simple drop-in swaps, and will require ECM connectors to be re-pinned, reflashing of the ECM, and the 6L80E will require new driveshafts, due to the additional length.
yes
depends on what gen 350 you're talking about. the 96 blazer should've had a 4l60e transmission which will bolt up to an lsx engine, but not an old school sbc
Chevy blazer '78
They'll bolt up, but not function properly. By the way, the 92 5.7 was not a Vortec engine.
NO.. It won't even bolt up.
yes it will bolt to a 350
Yes but the bolt patter is different so you will have to find an adaptor. Read below
350 turbo
That's what is in every 1/2 ton truck that has a vortec 350 in it. From 1992 to date. The 3/4 tons had the 4L80E in them.
NO. the bellhousings are different on the 96 and 97 transmissions then all the rest of the transmissions in the 90s

You should never add transmission fluid to a Chevrolet 350 engine. You can add transmission fluid to the transmission through the transmission dipstick holder.
