2.8 to 4.3V answers
this is a very easy swap. the biggest part of making the swap work
well is using the motor mounts from a g-body (usually malibu) with
a 3.8 CHEVROLET v6. and either malibu or TWO WHEEL DRIVE 4.3 s10
exhaust manifolds. i have done this swap before on a camaro and an 84
cutlass, I can take pics if they would help.
