How much does an engine for a 1996 Chevy blazer cost?

It depends on where you get it. You can often get an engine for anywhere from $1,000.00 U.S. to $2,000.000 U.S. or as little as $500.00 if you buy a used engine at a wrecking yard, plus labor to replace and peripherals such as water pump, thermostat, hoses, plugs, wires, oil filter and anything else that you might want to replace at the time. However, a replacement engine gives you a vehicle that will be quite reliable for years to come.
