I have an 08 Chevy Trailblazer LT and I was wondering if I could possibly do an engine swap with a LT5 Corvette engine.

Hello!

Yeah of course you can. It is just going to take a mountain of money, time, and effort. But a swap like that is definitely possible. The 6.2L is the same basic size as the 5.3L and 6.0L engines that GM put in those trucks from factory, so I do not see any huge fabrication hurtles.

Thanks for using 2CarPros!

Best,
