I've had this combo for about a year now,drove every day yours?
And I thought my truck was a one in a kind....o well
I have a 75 chevy luv with a 4.3 and a camero T5
the 4.3 is an 85 model with a STOCK gm HIGH RISE (hard to find) intake holly 650 carb
and HEI, I am using a 10 3/4 inch clutch on my T5 via the old old cast iron bellhousing has the small hole ...OH buy a hurst shifter for the T5 i did and that was my best invesment yet since motor/trans
I am using a Mcloed? hydriclik throwout bearing $500 damn dollars worth I couldn't find anything else that would make my combo work.


I did use the stock raditor on mine but everytime i punch it the temp went to like 240...just bearly moving along NO PLAYING it would run 210
the local raditor shop took 2 luv raditors and hook'em up together back2back...now it runs 180-190 all day long exacpt really hot days then its 220

my truck loves the 4.10s(rearend swap...stock on an auto) i put init....
the 4.56s where just too steep i cruise at 55 at about 2500 rpm u?

my truck just got painted a dark blue...with a 4 inch drop in the rear...
2 1/2 upfront
how about yours
what temp does yours run?
ever take your truck to the drag strip..i did mine i ran a 15.7 without the reaction time What was your time?
plz post back about ur truck RLJames90

I'm still considering this swap and wonder if you guys have any pics of your swaps either in progress or now that they are completed?
