That's an awful heavy engine for the front end of that blazer. That'd be my concern.

The 3.3BT is quite a bit smaller (and lighter). Couple other ideas: Mercedes 5-cyl and Landcruiser 4-cyl.

it aint that heavy, do the 4bt, i can tel you from experience, a mercedes 5 cyl is cool but in a jeep xj its alittle under powered and direct injection is way cooler when its 20 degrees out

I agree that the 4bt may be a bit heavy and its a pretty tall engine. I know its doable but I went with the kubota v2203 in my 1999 ranger 4x4 and its was a relatively easy fit and I couldn't be happier with the out come.
