    High performance V6 4.3L

    Keep us posted. I wish I wouldn't have junked my old 4.3L I pulled out of my truck. I threw a rod through the oil pan. Should have kept the long block and rebuilt it.

    1998 Sierra with 383 Stroker...

    2.25" exhaust is not enough for 450 hp. You are choking that engine off.

    WT Work Truck vs All the rest?

    Mine is a Sierra SLE but it has carpet and bucket seats and center console. It has the 4.3L and 700R4 automatic. Manual locks and windows. Mine's a 91. I have upgraded a bunch of stuff on it but I would prefer power windows and locks. Maybe someday I'll convert it.

    4.3??? Would like to know more about it.

    I have a 4.3L and 700R4 w/ shift kit in my truck. I've got no cat, flowmaster 40 muffler, EGR removed, injector pod spacer, hypertech "salad bowl", and K&N filter, and electric fan. Timing is advanced 8 degrees. I towed a car on a trailer weighing 6000 lbs total from Wichita Kansas to St...

    '98 k1500 4.3l Vortec | Terrible Sounds!

    sounds like mine when it ran out of oil on the highway. Bad PCV I got from Zona Del Auto wasn't letting pressure out and it started evacuating oil out of my dipstick tube. I didn't know until it was too late and my oil pressure gauge started dancing and the engine was knocking. I drove it back...

    1990 Chevy sport build

    I can't wait to see this all done. I have a 2013 Ram Express that I bought when I got back from Afghanistan. (Had some French Canadian Army soldiers on my camp, played poker with a young Army Captain). I am debating about doing a carbed 383 like yours in my 91 or an LS 5.3/6.0 swap. I'd like...

    Eiriks '95 ECSS

    So now with the sub box in the bed, can you not use the low profile bed cover you made anymore? I wanted to do a box like that but I need all the bed space I can get (sometimes I wish I had the longbed). I have a reg cab w/ 2 10" Kicker Comp's in a wedge box but I had to pull my console to get...

    Guys...Is she worth it?

    Swap engines with the low mile tree fiddy and then tear yours down, and rebuild it as a spare, or sell it.
