1981 Chevrolet Blazer Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1981 Blazer featured an extermanl redesign. While it still had the same gas-guzzling engines that it had had since its inception, the front end of the SUV was restlyed to make the car more aerodyanimc.
Smooth hood, fenders, and bumpers gave the 1981 Blazer a very aerodynmic look for an SUV. However, it certainly did not look soft, especially when paired with the growl-like grilled, which featured 16 rectanglaur opening between square headlights.
The base engine remained a 250-ci I6 rated at 115 horsepower at 3600 rpm. OPtional engines included a 305-ci V8 rated at 130 horsepower @ 4000rpm, a 305-ci V8 rated at 160 horsepower at 4400 rpm, and a 350-ci V8 rated at 165 @ 3600 rpm.

This was my first vehicle. I had it during high school and drove it up untill I hit the ditch and did a back flip. It had a 350 with an RV cam with the 3spd auto. The previous owner switched to 2.73 axle ratio's to pull his sleds to the mountains and save on fuel. It had 3" resprung springs and had 31" tall tires. It was a good reliable vehicle. I was young and had some starter issues untill I figured out that sometimes you need the shims! We used the 4-bolt main block in my brothers S-10, the motor on my profile picture.Apr 19, 2013
