Re: 4.3 v6 ????

The 4.3/NV3500/3.42's in this truck ran fine all the way to about 250k. It had plenty of power for the DD job until the end (something failed in the valvetrain coming home from GoodGuys Spring show of '21).

It's getting a re-freshed Gen IV 5.3 w/a Stage 2 truck cam & 4l60e w/a V6 converter. In hindsight, he wishes he would have just rebuilt the 4.3 because it's still not complete. It's hard to quickly get things nicely done when working part-time/nights on a shoe-string budget....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
