They were designed for the second gens...they are very similar so they just might work but I do not think anyone has tried it yet so we don't know.

I cant imagine 1 7/8 fitting, I had a hard time getting the 1 3/4 brp in frames to fit a first generation. Blazers are different than s10s on top of that, they are almost 2 inches higherthan s10s

I don't know specifics, but the brp 1 3/4 fit my buddys 96 blazer fine, I had to notch my frame on my 85. I'm sure they can be made to work, just depends if you wanna cut and weld, lol. They were gonna hit on both sides, the passanger side being worse. I wish I would have measured the distance while I had the engine out, looks like the frame is just smaller at the point where the frame narrows. I used 3/8 plate to weld back in, so I feel comfortable its sturdy. Didn't take that much out either

Yeah, the only set they show is $890 for 94-02 models. That doesn't help us much with the first gens... Mine is a 93..

current performance poly motor mounts, holley retrofit pan fits good, does not hang below x member, and the you will need the flex plate spacer adapter, and the sanderson shorty headers, and most all other headers you will need tubular upper a arms for clearance, speedway motors has chromoly ones w/ aluminum cross shafts for cheap, they accept factory bolt in ball joints, but you need to order 2 right sides, the left is 1/2" longer for circle track racers in g-body cars
