I'm on the engine swap homestretch. The LUV gets painted this month and then comes the 4.3 from a 94 Astro van. I ordered the mounts but I'm a little confused on the radiator. Is there a radiator for the 4.3L that is best?

look on ebay for a griffin radiator.... 19" x 22" I got mine for 95 bucks. It worked out great. Here is a link to one..

Thanks. Does that radiator mount in front of or in the same place as the old one? Did you use the stock fan or do i need an electric?

I have to use a pusher but I have a stock vortec 350 in mine.... You do have to modify the radiator support to get it to work. But you really don't have much of a choice on that. You might be able to use the stock fan on yours if its a 4.3 v6.

I should have some pictures up this weekend.

I got a couple questions about your 4.3 swap.
Im going to try and do the same thing in an 80 4x4. Is yours 4x or 2x?
And where did you order your mounts? The 4.3 I want to use is out of an 92 GMC Jimmy, is the engine your using fuel injected?
Thanks for any helpful advice you can give me...
