So I have been lurking planning to do the vortec swap in the near future, and I have a friend who has a Chevy 4.3 V6 of the ecotech3 variety...along with a 6l80e tranny mated to it. I can get the combo for a pretty good deal (a great deal actually) and was hoping for some advice...
1. Any reasons as to why this is a bad idea? (more complications in the install, etc)
2. The numbers say 285 horsepower along with 305? ft. lbs of torque. Seems pretty reasonable to me, I am not desperate to bark the tires but some power would be nice.
Thoughts?
