If the engine is from a Trailblazer there will be a hole or tube through the oil pan. This accommodates the steering linkage.
The 4.8 engine was never used in the 'Blazer and the 5.3s that they used have aluminum blocks.
Check with http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/ for info on your head casting number.
