Hey Thanks a bunch!!

I would like to do this today if i had the money. I would like to hope the 3.0 will last at least another summer or two, though. But until then i will continue to do research!

Yup!

The infos out there for the taking

Your time will come

904_runner · 07-21-2008, 01:25 PM

Yup!

So you getting pumped for the power difference over the 3.0 and the 3.4?

(I was pretty stoked with my 3.0 last night, cruising next to a buddy in his pathfinder on the highway, i hear him downshift and he tries to pass me, so i downshift into 3rd at like 50mph and the rpms went to 4 grand ish (only for about 5-10 seconds) and i flew by him (uphill too!). Now i really don't drive with the rpms that high (hope i didn't wreck anything), it never sees past 3500 usually. So i can't wait till i get a 3.4 in mine, maybe supercharge it and not tell anyone!

Ive driven the 3.4 in my moms auto, and the left foot gets bored, but its still a sweet motor!

(65mph in a 3.0 with 33's and stock gearing going up hill on a highway was quite an accomplishment for that motor!

Ya im excited! The 3.4 had great power aspecialy with the headers intake and straight exhaust. Not to mention it was basicaly brand new anfter I rebuilt it so the power was amazing. I was told by many people it was the best sounding V6 they had ever heard. I must admit it did sound amazing.

I cant wait to see the difference with the 4.3. I think it should help me a bit more aspecialy with the lowend as this is a tourqey motor. Ill have to see once I get it in if I can tell any differences but I do expect to see some gains.

As for over the 3.0, hell a hampster in a ball was faster

No comparison gan be made because its not a motor

904_runner · 07-21-2008, 01:33 PM

LMAO! haha!

I got a line on the adapter to pick up tomorrow Night I hope, so will see if I can mock up the motor, Mounts and exhaust by the end of the week. Should be a close one but I think I might just make it

I might have to get some tube also and start the front bumper at least Im gonna need something cause right now there is no protection at all up front

Well I hope to mock up by the end of this weekend. I got the motor out of the truck tonight and pulled the valve covers. Im having them cleaned. I also need some new plugs wire and maybe a new cap and rotor. I hope to have the adapters tomorrow or Wednesday. ill get some pics up once I upload them onto the comp.

Should be a pretty fast build. I was looking over the motor a bit while up at my parents house and man is it a simple motor. I should have dropped on of these things in a long time ago

I cant wait to get her in and running and I hope to soon. There is a trip to Naches mid August I would love to take it too so my deadline is pretty short.

Ill be sure to keep you all informed on the build progress as it comes in and Ill be sure to get those pics I know you all love

apalmer1 · 07-22-2008, 03:04 AM

oh dear god and so it begins again... 4.3 vortec is an awesome motor, ive rebuilt two of those engines. less top end power and way less mpg's than the 3.4l but tons and tons of low end torque, dirt cheap and very durable.

shoot me a pm if you run into any other engine performance woes because ive got some experience with these motors as well. Pretty soon here i get to do a buildup thread right along with you as i finaly got my project truck, 1985 4x4 with a 383 up front and just like yours absolutely no front clip or body infront of the cab. already got a TBI unit for it and gettin the exo goin soon

fillsrunner4 · 07-22-2008, 06:06 AM

Yeah yeah another portion of the build begins. This motor is going to be alot less headache im sure compared to the nightmares I had with the 3.4 Im excited to see the outcome. If I run into some woes im sure youll be hearing from me.

Cage and font clip soon but first motor

Cant wait to see your build

fillsrunner4 · 07-22-2008, 06:07 AM

oh and BTW MPG's mean nothing to me

I try and block that out

No no no no. You've got this all wrong.

See, you are supposed to be out here in CO putting that into MY truck....

Sick build as always. I'm going to enjoy watching this as much as I did your first.

904_runner · 07-22-2008, 09:42 AM

Okay, i got it all worked out for you , i get the 3.4 and Axleike gets the 4.3.
