Now here is my dilema. Do I find a used motor 4 cyl or do I go w/ a 89 chevy tbi 4.3 v6 . now this will be a light wheeler as I have a hard core fj40 . It will become my dd and tow rig . So i am leaning to the v6 or a v8 w/ same specs.

If I go w/ the 4.3 is there any links to the swap including the adapters and pn . I have a downey cat. as I have already done the v8 tbi swap in my 40. so the wireing or fab is not an issue I just need a reliable vehical . Any sugestions from you mini truck addicts at this will be my first mini truck.
Howdy! Lookin at doing similar plan on my 85. 4.3 V-6 is plenty of power. V-8 has enough to break parts a lot, and it is 25% more engine heat to deal with. Get the 4.3 with the counter balance shaft, but I am not sure what year they started that. John
