You could check with your local GM dlr just to see what kind of deal they'll make. Don't tell them it's for a Trooper though, tell them it's going in a 1985 Blazer or Jimmy 4X4. That way they won't get their Knickers in a Knot about using the motor in a TBI application. Don't pay any attention to the GM legal-ese regarding this motor not being rated for TBI use, it works just fine with a few 'tweaks' and probably burns cleaner than any old 2.8 (as long as all the emissions controls are retained and functioning correctly).

Here's a few places to check out online, maybe one of them is close to you, saving shipping charges:

Plug your Zip Code into the dlr locator to find the various dlrs in your area.

BTW, if you haven't already asked for the packet of swap info, send me a Private Message with your e-mail address listed and I'll forward the files to you.
