  • 4.3L?

    a guy i know has a lotta parts he stripped off his S10 SS(which ran high 11's on nitrous. i saw it) has all the mods from his truck since he stripped it b4 he sold it. he said that hes not really familiar with the 3.8L but he thinks all the stuff hes got would work on my car. He said "as long as its a 90* v6 it should work" I dont really know.. he has heads and a stroker kit... anyone shed a lil light on this?

    I doubt anything will fit, except some generic nitrous parts.
    The 4.3L is basically a 350(5.7L) Chevy engine with the front 2 cylinders removed. Same bore and stroke. Same reliability. Our 3.8L is derived from a Buick engine, not unlike the one in the famous Buick Grand Nationals.
    I have thought that the 4.3L would make an interesting swap engine. I would think many parts from the V8 would work like trans and engine mounts. I guess if you go that far, you would just do the V8.

        The 3800 is derived from the old 3.8 used in the national. Please go to www.gnttype.org to learn more about the 3.8 and how it came about.
