DRR Top Comp

| Well sine it is 3/4 of a 350 sbc I woulf think you should be able to build same as 350 and get at least 3/4 the power and really figure little more.They run pretty good in factory trim. We have had 2 Astro vans with them.Never been nice to them and they took it and kept getting it. I have always wanted to build a 4.3 to see how strong it would run. Another comparison would be to a 283 since cubic inches is cubic inches. If you luck runs like mine you will build it get it to track and the glue shortage will be over and they will be spraying more than ever. Are planing to build with all the goodies you can or go mild build with good heads,cam and maybe high compression. Wondering how many go fast pieces are out there for a 4.3.
Your first mistake was thinking your opinion made a d a m n

Even if you could make it work with the V6, what about that 283? I mean hey, you wouldn't exactly be reinventing the wheel.  Take care. Tom Worthington
If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong.

| Cranks in the 3.8L and 4.3L are the weak point with offset ground rod pins. The 3.8L is a baby LS right down to its symmetrical port heads and deep skirted block. Find a forged crank and some good rods and give 'er hell!
