Chevrolet introduced the S-10 Blazer in the fall of 1982, when the larger Jeep Wagoneer, Ford Bronco and Chevrolet Suburban had a corner on the SUV market. The relatively small S-10 was one of the first compact SUVs, and it contributed to making SUVs an increasingly popular vehicle throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
The 1992 to 2002 Chevy Blazer Engine
The early Blazer engines were not impressive in terms of their power. The 1983 edition had a standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that was built by Izuzu and maxed out at 83 horsepower. However, Chevy modified and redesigned the Blazer engine several times between 1983 and 1997. The most relevant changes came in the early- and mid-1990s. A 200 horsepower Enhanced 4.3-liter V6 debuted in the Blazer in 1992 and became standard in 1993. Chevy changed the name of the engine from the Enhanced 4.3-liter to the Vortec 4300 in 1996, and it was the only engine available in the Chevy Blazer through 2002, when the Blazer line was completely revamped.
Engine Specs
The Chevy Vortec 4300 4.3-liter, 190 horsepower, V6 was the only engine available in the 1997 Chevy Blazer. It was a 12-valve, OHV configured engine with a displacement of 4,300cc, a bore and stroke of 4 inches by 3.48 inches and a compression ratio of 9.2:1. It was paired with either a five-speed manual overdrive transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Horsepower and Torque
The 1997 Chevy Blazer achieved a maximum of 190 horsepower at 4,400 revolutions per minute and a maximum torque of 250 foot-pounds at 2,800 revolutions per minute.
