Do they even exist or am I stuck with shorties? I haven't been able to find them
I'm not bashing on him. He asked for addvise like Bruce said save that money for a 5.3 or 6.0. Seriously u would modify a v6 bighossim sure somebody makes some... cesar why are you bashin? if thats what hes got to work with then thats what hes got to work with- nothin wrong with that. im sure with a good exhuast system, intake, and tune that truck would get pretty decent gas mileage
Lol noone here buys crate enginesI can't afford a new crate engine
^This depends on the area...I know I can't find a 5.3 or a 6.0 for under $1000 around here.Lol noone here buys crate engines
They usually find used 5.3/6.0's and swap them in
Used ~$400-1000 Crate: $3000-4000?
seriously, i have modified a 4.3L... comp 266HR camshaft, rockers, springs, ported heads, ported lower intake manifold, tb diffusor mod, intake, exhuast, wait4me tune, lt1 e-fan setup... among other things, built 4L60E with better internals, beast sunshell, b&m kit, corvette solenoid, looser converter, 4.56's... it was pretty stout. the guy was just asking about headers- thats it. just headers. people got on here and questioned why he would put headers on his truck which is a rhetorical question...I'm not bashing on him.

I ask questions when i don't understand, and I can't understand why a person would waste money and making the 4.3 fast.seriously, i have modified a 4.3L... comp 266HR camshaft, rockers, springs, ported heads, ported lower intake manifold, tb diffusor mod, intake, exhuast, wait4me tune, lt1 e-fan setup... among other things, built 4L60E with better internals, beast sunshell, b&m kit, corvette solenoid, looser converter, 4.56's... it was pretty stout. the guy was just asking about headers- thats it. just headers. people got on here and questioned why he would put headers on his truck which is a rhetorical question...
It's only fast in an S10 or Sonoma :imoI ask questions when i don't understand, and I can't understand why a person would waste money and making the 4.3 fast.
Same reason people jack up 2 wheel drive trucks (myself included)........ It's what we want to do. He wants to put headers on a 4.3 v6, what's the problem.I ask questions when i don't understand, and I can't understand why a person would waste money and making the 4.3 fast.
lol Pot meet kettle.... You put headers on your 4.8, why didn't you just swap in a 6.0?But why when he could drop in a LQ4 for $800? :think:
Cause everything I do to my 4.8 can be swapped over to a 6.0 when I'm ready for it? :think:
My point was that he doesn't have to fork out a huge amount for a crate engine.^This depends on the area...I know I can't find a 5.3 or a 6.0 for under $1000 around here.
agreed, i just think its funny when this guy asks a question and everyone bashes just becuase its a v6. why not put a set of longtubes on a 4.3L? like said im sure it will help just a little bit even if the diff. is negligable. i bet with some cheap bolt ons he could squeeze a couple hp and mpg out of it...It's only fast in an S10 or Sonoma :imo
