    4.3 swap questions

    so I guess we'll just see what happens. I'm not putting more into it then I have to, and I'm willing to take a 40 loss and time loss on rad hoses and steel plate to try it. if it fails I'll build a 305.

    4.3 swap questions

    the only one hard is the s10. I've already took the stock frame mounts off the k1500 ladt night, being 4wd it's completely open underneath and simple.

    4.3 swap questions

    well hoses are cheap enough and I see no reason why a v8 rad. won't work for a v6. Also not sure why I can't bolt up the stock th350 converter and use it behind the 4.3

    4.3 swap questions

    can't sell anything and make any money around here. I hate dealing with idiots. I need a truck on the road and as soon as possible with as little cost as possible. I've got no way to travel and get around to find or pick up this stuff either.

    4.3 swap questions

    guys the whole entire point of this swap is to save money. I can rebuild the old 305 I have for around 200 or so, no way I'm dropping coin on another motor. s10 converter won't work, it's a 700r4 and the 4wd is th350.

    hi all, new guy here to the site not trucks. I have a 91 s10, which is 4.3 tbi and I've got an 88 k1500 that was v8, might make it 4.3 and then use the s10 as a project, not sure.
