to answer your question, yes if it's just the block and head you can probably fit it in the back of a TB. A hoist would make life much simpler, but a couple of guys could lift it. I just got rid of a 4.3 last year from my old Blazer and me and my wife's cousin moved it, but it was a bitch, of course, we slid it onto the back of a trailer and weren't trying to lift it up into the back of a TB either.

That being said, if I were you, I'd rent a trailer from Uhaul, all you need is small one and for less than $30 you will save a boat load of aggrivation trying to move this engine.

Damn girl, that's a great find! Wish I could find a deal like that! That's the kind of thing you want to keep in one piece and re-build. Maybe do a 5-speed swap or something. I'm jealous...

well i have a trailer i can use, and the guy said he has enough people there to lift it no problem. the trailer i have sits no more than a foot and a half off the ground, it's a shorty haha.

now as far as getting it back home and settled. is there like... an engine stand thingy i'm gonna have to have? haha forgive me, i've never done this before. my dad has an SBC block sitting on a stand, so i'm thinking i'll need something similar?

You could get an engine stand, or a wood pallet for temporary storage until you get one.

I would venture to guess he has it on a crate or something already, and if not, and it's just sitting on the ground, f it and leave it sitting on the ground until you're ready to start rebuilding it

yeah i know i can't just lay it on the ground of the garage. i really have NO idea how big these things are. it may just have to sit covered on the trailer for a day so i can see it and THEN figure out where i can store it, and then admire it and start planning

Getting an engine bored means making the cylinders a larger diameter. So technically you could bore the engine and have a 3500 (or larger) instead.

Do you know if you are getting the engine AND tranny, or just the engine? If you're getting the tranny too, it's quite large, the engine itself isn't too horrible big. Also, it should fit OK in the back of a trailblazer. My sister in law has an Equinox which is pretty much the same thing, and it's got plenty of room.

TB will be larger actually, especially if it's the EXT

Possible, but as far as cargo space, it's almost identical.

yeah it's an extended trailblazer, it has the 3rd row seats, so it's got TONS of room. and i don't know if i'm getting the tranny too, he said the engine, but who knows what all that entails.

ok so now that i know what "boring" is, i'm guessing that has to be done professionally.

Yeah, a machine shop would have to do that. You would have to tear the engine completely down to nothing but the block itself, and take that to the machine shop and tell them what bore you want. Then they more or less drill it out for you - very precisely.

If you're getting the tranny too, that's just a bonus. If you don't need it, you could probably sell it for a pretty penny on ebay, and use the money for that Turbo you've always wanted!
