update - just droped in my newly rebuilt ( by me ) 4.3 this weekend - ya I know a v8 would have been nice but budget wont allow and I really need to keep my 4wd and a v8 just isent nessasary - I used zero gap rings - 1.6 rockers cleaned - debured the inside of the block and poished the int. and exh. ports along with the intake runners - so it should do quite well - oh I also gutted my cay and riged up the ox sensor so I wont get any codes .:3gears:
