You have a 4.3 turbo? Those motors are awesome... straight from the factory they were better than the 350... I am not sure if I would swap my 350 for it but I would never talk bad about that motor...

the 4.3 is a great motor just a 350 with 2 less cylinders, but its not huge on hp... plenty of tq stock but still you have to toss the same trans as a 350 takes to use it so you might as well use a sbc instead of the 4.3 unless you do plan on putting a turbo in it or SC kits are now out for them... otherwise i would only do it if you already have it lying around and dont have the cash to upgrade to a sbc

I have a feeling he has no desire to put a sbc in his light truck... its a great work engine, good on gas etc. we however are getting off topic and there is no need to go off on a tangent on this.

The TTA, for your information, came with the 3.8 60 degree turbo v-6. The same engine as the Buick GN and GNX. (yeah i know its a couple year old post, but i hate misinformation

)

so do i, the 3.8 was a 90* engine and is not quite the same as the buick motors. the shortblock is the same, but used different cylinder heads and i *believe* the exhaust manifolds were different as well...make sure you have all the facts straight before correcting
