Re: What do you think about this swap
In my experience and from what I've heard from others, the 4.3 V6 doesn't offer very good fuel mileage. I only saw 18 or 19 with my 01 S-10 2wd V6 and was getting 15-17 in my 02 Silverado 4wd with the 4.8 V8. I believe the best you can do from a late model truck would be the LSx motors that provide decent mileage and good power.
Not sure if you saw this thread or not, but it's got some good info. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=294552
