for the trouble of a motor swap, why not just do a v8?\'99 SSM Camaro V6 M5<br />(mod list on cardomain site; too long to list here)<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99</a>Comment

its funner with a 6. it would be unique,different. a vortec 4.3l is a big bad motor. great v8 sound.The confusion surrounds me <br />change is imminent<br />if I were they<br />we could be greatComment

speedomotive.com has the 4.3 stroker kits, I found this at ls1-lt1.com. I called them and they don't have a stroker kit for 3.8 and their 4.3 stroker kits are all carb, you would need to get intake,sensors,ecm, and other parts to conver to fully FI engine.Black 02 Camaro, 3800, K&N, BMR panhard bar, one piece DS, flowmaster, custom SC\'s<br />mods to come, T5, customComment

Its a big PITA to do something like that...and plus how are you going to fit the 4.3's high rising F/I systems in there (either CPI or TBI)?
Its got a SBC block on it...you might as well drop in an LT1...or LS1 for that matter.-1999 Camaro Coupe 3800 Series II V6 A4 - SOLD<br />-1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupeComment

youd need a lt1 crossmember & motor mounts,v8-90* v6 mount adapter (there is a place to get these,but I don't remeber off the top of my head) and a v8 style tranny.
the st/ty 4.3 and the vertical tb cpi 4.3 should fit in a 4th gen fineWolf<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/249111/7\" target=\"_blank\">95 black t-top camaro</a>,3.4 5 speed,ud pullies,plugs/wires,de-shaft tb & gutted airbox, homemaid short throw shifterComment
