You might want to save that 4.3 in your 85, gas prices aren't getting any lower...

 it cost me $175 to go there and back in an 02 z71 w/5.3. i think i'm gonna keep the 4.3 in it. i still got a killer deal though so i can't complain. i think i'll save it for my 71 but i never post much over there anymore since it is on the backburner.

Makes sense to me. Either that or pull the 4.3 and sell it to me. This gas crap is killing me....

yeah, i have a bad lead foot
 . you're right though about gas mileage. i had a jimmy w/a 4.3 and i bet it got the same to +3 miles a gallon better than a 350. it depended on how i was driving. 1-1/2 to 2 MPG almost makes it not even worth it  . the 4.3 in it runs like a sewing machine though so unless it blows i guess it's staying  .

Damn, sweet looking engine. I think it should go in whatever one would be better off with it or I could be kind and take it off your hands.
