After finding out how much it would cost to rebuild the 4.3L V6 I have decided to swap another 4.8L into it too. So how much of my exist systems can I reuse?

Can I make an adapter plate or just bolt the 4.3L's existing acc drive to the 4.8L block is I use an earlier engine?

If I decided to use an aftermarket efi system like a Professional Products throttle body will my existing fuel system work? [Motor will be all stock] I just put a new pump in the tank.

I know I can use the 700R4 in it if I upgrade it to V8 status and the stock rearend should be fine since I wont be racing with it either.
