History of the 4.3
Hello all
I'm in desperate need of some definitive information about my 4.3. My '97 Blazer has a W engine, and it's shot. rod knocking and it's got 180,000 miles. about 1/8" of slop in several rod bearings... I need to know what years they had the same engine setup so I can find a donor. I believe I remember seeing somewhere it was '97-02, and '03 things changed. Is there block numbers to look for, or just any S10's of particular model years?\ many thanks in advance. |

Re: History of the 4.3
that's a great bit of info there, but was taken from a book written in '00..... doesn't have any more than that.
Was the '99-02 the same as '96-98? |

Re: History of the 4.3
No there are subtle changes for the years you mentioned. It has some to do with sensors. I don't remember the full details. I was trying to do something similar back awhile ago. I ended just getting another motor form the same year. Saved myself alot of hassle and aggrovation.
