Hey just wondering if anyone has done or researched a 4.3 vortech swap? since they use a 4l60e, i would think it would work. With more cubes, should be able to squeeze a little more topend outta it. Anyone doneit?

the heads on the vortech 4.3's are way better than the ones on the 3.8, my dad has ported a couple sets for a circle track 4.3 and it made 375hp w/a solid cam and a crappy intake, w/a better intake and a roller cam it would probably easily make 400hp.....<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a> -
How hard you think it would be to swap in a 4.3? maybe just motormounts or would it require a harness?1996 CamaroRS <br />15.5 @ 86<br />Sold<br /><br />2000 Z28 Convertible 3700lbs<br />Lid, Cutout, yank 3600 Stall, built trans, snall cam, NX Wet kit.<br />11.3 @ 118<br />Best 60\' is 1.58<br />497 RWHP 475 RWTQComment

Why waste more money on swapping a V6? Lets get logical here. Throw an LT1 in yours and be done with it and enjoy the torque and exhaust sounds from a V8.Comment

I have a 96 3800 with intake and exhause in my S10 and hit a 14.9. I have yet to see any 4.3 S10 beat a 15.7 NA with a stock engine.
You would need the s10 tranny or a v8 tranny because the 4.3 has a different bell-housing than the 3800. A 4.3 can be build cheap since it is a 350 minus 2 cylinders.92 S10 3800 A4(96)<br />1/4: 14.374 @ 92.25 w/ 1.976 60\'<br />Turbo and 12\'s Coming Soon!Comment
