Re: 4.3 in a C10

If you get it, here is my suggestion on removing the drive train. Disconnect everthing from the body. Lift the body off the frame. Now you have the template on installing it in your truck. You will need the cat and exhaust. The engine has four oxygen sensors. The engine will also have all the upgrades made to a 4.3 from the factory. I have 221800+ miles on my 4.3. It shows no signs of slowing down. I would replace the lower intake gaskets while it's out. It will save time later. The fuel tank may be added or you can put an electric pump in yours.
