nice clean build! subscribed. can't wait to see that chevy purring under there

 

thanks, hope to get the V6 to the shop the end of the week.
I'm in training all next week and may not get things done

 

Things are going great. Know how that goes trying to get things to the shop. It will eventually happen. Hang in there on training, hope it will fly by for you.

 

nice build. iam about to start my 3 rd build picked up a 88 with 22re for 400. has a really big hole in the side of the block. i have a 22r fully rebuilt out of my 86 that i did the cummins diesel 4bt custom twin turbos swap on. i am thinking of punting the 4.3 out of my 98 s10. i have all ready rebuilt 4.3 bored out 20 over mild cam. holly intake with mutl point fuel injected. (instead of the crappy spider injectors for the factory) also doing a 3.5 inch body lift and 2.5 suspension lift

 

Nice truck man im scribed!

 

Thanks, the 4.3 V6 sounds great, with the 20 over and MPFI, should have a lot of power. best of luck...

 

Thanks

 

the 4.3 ran great in my s10 i only have 7,600 miles on the motor since the rebuild. its a u joint barker with the 16 lbs racing clutch i can brake a u joint any time. i dynoed the motor at 366 a year ago. might even turbo it since i have one laying around

 

Maybe a supercharger?

 

Turbo and superchargers are over my head but it would be nice to see one done.

 

that would be awesome to see a turbo/supercharged 4.3 in a toyota!!!

 

Indeed that would be a sight to see.
werent some of those chevy cyclones supercharged?
If somebody were lucky enough to swipe an engine out of one of those it would be sick!

 

i have a 66mm turbo charger i can put on the 4.3. tune it to around 7 to 9 pounds of boost would work great. if i do it i will have to put a set of arp head studs in. my cummins in my 86 i run around 45 pounds of boost wide open. i need to get a camera so i can put pics on hear

 

Well I got a new seat driver side, need to find a matching one for the other side

 

 

Seat looks comfy. Are you talking about the Stablizer bar ( if that is what it is called) or the extention? My 79 has the same thing as it is a solid axle. I am not sure if it is needed, but on a solid axle, there really is much help holding it solid except for the springs.

Not my strongest area but thought I would try and give my 2 cents. Also get you bumped to the top of the list so someone else may give you a better answer.

 

Its used to stabilize your truck not really needed for trail only rigs but if your planning on streeting it i would sugest yes

 

Thanks, I seen a few SAS without it and was thinking if need, would it be in the way of my V6

 

thanks, Terry

 

well we started the 4.3 V6 re-build....finally










planning to take it to the shop Thursday, it's going to need a new cam and lifters.
