Th trailblazer will have more HP than the 292. so it "SHOULD" go faster up hills etc.
issue I see, is that the 292 usually only came in an 8 lug truck thru the years. So my question will be IF the trailblazer has the payload etc that you may or may not need for HW, People, Dogs etc in the TV of choice. Then again, back then, an 8 lug truck was a lower gvwr etc than todays trucks.....

I had a 63 Sub with a 292 and 4 speed with granny gear and 3:73 gears. It would pull a house over. I swapped a warmed up 283 in and it cruise the highway much better and still towed an E Racing Runabought flatbottom race boat in the early 70's just fine! You might have seen it towing E-500 then! It went on to tow a local drag hydro. Rear panel door made it an ideal tow truck for boats, with tool box inside back doors.
Each engine had its pluses! Chris
