You can get a lot of power from that 4.3L Uses most of the same tricks as SB and there are a lot of parts for it. It's weight is closer to the stock, get it set back correctly and you will have a neat handling truck. Use a 700r4 get the tallest gears you can put in the stock rear end. 3.06 trans first gear with 0.8x overdrive. Would make an excellant truck to pull your trailer with your race LUV. Bolt in mounts and headers, make it a long weekend swap.
got a 700r4 with it sitting in my garage waiting for me to get paid again so i can get the 4 bbl intake and a q-jet along with an hei dizzy and i will be in business
found intake for $50 a few q-jets for 25 a piece, gonna have a buddy of mine who races rebuild and jet one for me. looking for the original hei dizzy for the early 4.3 and im set to go
30% OD will make things a lot more fun at freeway speed.. and i will be able to pass without putting my foot thru the floor for once
