Get a 1st gen dodge cummins they are tough as nails and are as emp proof as it gets I have 308000 miles on mine. Also they get better mileage then the crappy 6.2 I get about 18mpg average

Also a solar flare has the same effect as a emp That is my biggest fear

they stop the first generation at 98. 98.5 is second generation.

If you buy a '78 or earlier Blazer, they are emissions equipment exempt...classified as a Heavy Duty (6200lbs). '79 that changed. As long as it is tuned correctly, it passes the sniffer test.

93 it only requires 2 wires to run all mechanical baby. And actually 1st gen is 89- 93 but 89-91.5 were non intercooled so I prefer 91.5-93 standard trans only. Second gen is 94-2002 but the mighty 12valve is 94-98 these trucks would also be emp proof or solar flare proof and they are also the most desirable because they have the p pump. And the holy grail would be the 1998 12valve 4x4 it's 1/2 year only it has the rear doors that open and is has bigger valves and the injector pump i think has bigger delivery valves and it is rated at 215hp instead of 190hp. But a nice 1998 12 valve is hard to find and they will cost you I searched for a year and finally found my dad a 98 short bed extended cab white sport package fully loaded 5 speed 120k and he gave 10 grand. My brother has 2x4 dually that is a 1998 and he gave 7grand

Electronic ignition won't be emp proof

You could buy the K5 blazer. Drive it. Buy a Cummins 4BT diesel later. Then install the Cummins 4 cyclinder when you are ready. They make bell housing adaptors to bolt the Cummins directly to the Chevy transmission. I read guys were getting over 30 mpg on this little diesel. The Cummins 4BT was in some of the older bread trucks and aluminum bodied delivery vans. Or you could go Cummins 6 cyclinder like this guy...
