The classic SUV is now powered by a 6.2 L LT1 V8 producing 450+ hp (330+ kW). Behind that is a Bowler GM 10-speed automatic transmission and Atlas transfer case. The Blazer still sits on the factory chassis with Fox adjustable shocks, upgraded front sway bar, and PSC steering box. The refreshed interior features Dakota Digital RTX gauges and a Vintage Air AC system.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
