youre gonna need to change out that passenger side manifold? I eneded up running manifolds off a van when I had my 4.3.
I am swapping in a 350 in place of my 4.3 and have a question now that the old motor has is sold and gone- the cylinders on the v8 are offest between drivers and passenger- where the passenger side most rear cylinder is further back than the drivers side . Were they on the 4.3? I dont remember that on the old 4.3 I had.
cheers-

So, you didn't go to Moab this year?
I have heard those 4.3 engines are a real pain to get the exhause manifolds set up right. Not much selection to choose from ;p

Not making Moab this year, Razorback Ramble is the next event for us, last time I talked to Casey he had more Texans registered than Arkansas boys.........
These manifolds are gonna work they are OEM 87 Monte Carlo.
All V type engines have one head set back, so 2 connecting rods can run on the same journal......

I'm working on a 4.3 vortec swap along with a 4l60e. Where did you end up putting the motor mounts?

Did you offset it at all, or is it centered?
I just built a tranny mount like that after seeing it on Extreme 4x4s Ranger. I double tubed it, which was major overkill. Did you drill a hole through the end plate and run the tube through?
Good lookin' install. There's a 2F rebuild vs. csb thread going on. The question of what a quality install of a csb came up a little. What's it cost for your shop to do something like that 4.3L? Just ballpark. I understand every job is a bit different.

What if you just want the engine and trans in, and nevermind luxuries like A/C or making it look OEM, and provide everything for it? Just curious in case I deceide to use my wallet as a tool and take in somewhere. And was that 12.5" the front of the mount or the center?

Guestimate $2-4K I'm very picky about "letting" a customer source everything, cause I don't have time to call him and let him handle it every time I need something, plus I know what works and what I like to use.........example, most of the universal crossmembers I have seen suck and take more work to make them work than building one, same with the 2 AA transfer case shifter brackets I have used.....BayCruiser said:
12.5" inside edge of each item

I was thinking more the larger type items like the engine and transmission. I would be inclined to let the installer source what he needs to install them. Experience goes a long way in my book.

Are you going to fab up a custom skid plate to tie into the crossmember bar? How much space will there be between the radiator & water pump fan? It looks like you'll have to fab up a deep shroud or push the radiator back.
