Re: Engine and transmission swap 88 Blazer into my 72 K10

The boss is still there but not drilled, it can be drilled but requires engine disassembly to be done correctly.
If the boss is drilled there will be a block-off plate where the fuel pump would mount. Even if the boss is drilled, the cam may not have a fuel pump lobe. The L31 I put in my Blazer had a block-off plate but I had to change the cam to get the fuel pump lobe.

I like the sound a Quadrajet makes when the secondaries open, but for ease and reliability the TBI is a good choice.
