My little brother has a 4.3 out of a Jimmy, and I was thinking it would make a bit more power than my 3.4... Originally I was planning on rebuilding the 3.4 but his 4.3 was rebuilt about 5k miles ago... How much work would this engine be to put in, I know computer would have to be switched, but other than that, tranny hook up? I have an auto in a '95.

Re: Keep 3.4 or go 4.3?
If I'm wrong on this I want to be corrected. You will need the transmission from the Jimmy. You will probably have to get the mounts from the 4.3 as well. I've heard its more work than its worth.

Re: Keep 3.4 or go 4.3?
Ya I figured I would need the mounts.. The transmission should hookup, probably need a new flexplate and torque convertor though.Originally posted by kirk981995 Camaro 3.4 A4<br /><br />CAI,IAT RelocateComment

Re: Keep 3.4 or go 4.3?
For the work of either a 4.3L v6 or the Baby LT1 4.3L, just do the work to make an aluminum headed 3.4L....
You'd make work of either a stock 3.8L or a 4.3L v6, both of which have power sapping balance shafts.

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...2 weeks ago
