The truck won't be towing anything it will only be pushing
And I think it will only be used at El Mirage so even if in the future
I can't get it registered no big deal I'll make the 20 mile bonzi to El
Mirage

Rick, I you are going to pull a very heavy trailer--I would get something
with a longer wheelbase--- I would be suprised that you can get a big block
"emmisioned in CA in the 82 Blazer---I would look at GM's new 383 crate
instead---that with the right gears and the correct size tires will pull
pretty good---if you want to do and eng swap---get a 71 back 3dr surb or and
old blazer---then its legal to do as I understad it

Hey Guys I need some advice
I have a 82 Blazer 4x4 that I want to turn into a push truck
The truck has a 6.2 diesel I am looking at swapping it with
possibly a 454 HO crate engine 425 hp 500 ft lb torque
