If you particularly like that engine type then the 6.5 version
with the mechanical injection pump would be a bit better in the
Blazer. Gives a bit more power for light duty use like that and
should still do 22-24mpg. In a Chevy van I was getting 20-21mpg
combined driving on average. You will want to get something like
a manual tranny or the L80E type auto. The earlier 700R4 wasn't
as good and usually needed a rebuild every 100,000 or less.

A good, tough, reliable engine by most measures. Not super
powerful but unlikely to break other components. I'd love to have
one in a Blazer...
