Opinions on a swap
In late October of last year, I blew up the 2.8L in my 89 RS... Sadly, I could not spare the time to repair it. Even after being tempted to the Ford side with a 94 Cobra, I'm ready to bring my RS back to life because lets face it, Mustangs are every where and arn't nearly as sexy as third gens. At the moment, I want either the 4.3L from a blazer or a 90s Vortec 5.7L. I'm open to suggestions and what not. Thanks!

Re: Opinions on a swap
for all the work needed to get the 4.3L to fit right, I don't think you'll be happy with the outcome. If you want to keep it (relatively) simple, go with the 350. If you've got a bit more skills and money, LSx swap is where its at.
