Re: 4.3 v6....
i had an 86 that had a 4.3 and it was coupled to a th400 trans... If memory serves correct the motor sits in the same mounts and holes as the v8 and the shroud was wider to accomodate the shorter block and its cooling

Re: 4.3 v6....
I have a 4.3 in my 83 and thats how mine is. It has a really long fan shroud. It sits in the same position a 350 does but it is shorter. Remember a 4.3 is a 350 with the front 2 cylinders missing. I can get some pics tomorrow morning when i get home from work.

Re: 4.3 v6....
sorry for the delay in getting a pic. So after i went out and looked at it turns out i was wrong. The frame mounts are moved back from the v8 position. I was a kid when i helped my dad build this truck and i really dont remember him moving the mounts. My mistake. Hope this helps.
