Re: Any 4.3 v6 swaps?

Vortec 4.3v6 is a great engine if the 5.3 didn't get the same mileage and have100 more hp and just about the same ammount of modifications it would be a good choice for a swap. I honestly can't see how they could sell both engines in the same truck from the factory.

I had a 96 sonoma with a 4.3 that got about 16mpg, my 67 with a 5.3 gets about 17mpg pulling my boat.
