No, I'm not in the wrong forum....

I have a 4.3L motor/tranny combo I've been trying to sell and I was thinking, it's basically a small block chevy with two cylinders removed, so it's got to be one of the biggest v6's made, if not _the_ biggest.

That got me wondering, is there such an animal as a big block that has only six cylinders?

What's the biggest v6 made, and the biggest anyone's managed to stuff in a third gen?

Not sure about the biggest V6, but I've seen 502 big blocks in thirdgens. Daves12secV6 is getting a 4.3, so I assume it can be done.

 

chevy makes a 4.6L v6 too... but i hear it has some problems. don't know the specifics

 

lol, its not a v6 or a chevy but ford used to make a 4.9 litre 6 cylinder

 

yep,a 4.3 is exactly the same work to get in as swaping in a small block.ill be looking to make over 600 rwhp with a twin turbo setup.i just bought a beater this week,i pick it up on thursday.so on friday im taking the in to the shop to completly strip it.ill be rebuilding the car from the ground up over the winter.
