ive had several of the 250 I 6 with a 3 spped stick to em and theyve always ran great albeit a little slow when hauiling a heavy load. they run forever with proper maintenance and they are real easy to repair. i know that my 76 has the wipers on the dash and i believe this was the same til like 82 oe 83 and the 4.3 came out in 85. the 4.3 is a good motor too but if i had the choice of a 4.3 and a 250 id grab the 250, but thats personal preference and if ya get a straight six theones with the non integral head were better than the ones with. by the way i have a truck in pieces here as well as one whole id like to berid of come get them all lolalong with all my parts LOL
