Hi all,
I just bought a 1991 stepside v6 converted to a 350 v8 and have a few general questions.
The truck is a supposed original v6 Z71, I was unaware that was an option?
What are the similarities/differences between the 4.3l suspension and say a v8 step side short box?
Control arms same?
Spring/shock differences?
Sway bars, ball joints, tie rods, sway bars, everything I should be aware of essentially.
When I go to purchase parts are there any parts that are 4.3 specific?
Also side question, are all brake components, lines, etc the same aswell?
The truck seems to sit a smidge lower than a stock v8, so I am just looking for some information.
I could not find much information on this topic.
thank you for all help.
