Why not? Seriously lol... I am new to all this stuff

 

Cuz it's a v6. Have u ever heard a v6 with a exhaust system. It sounds like crap. It's a shitty motor. U should of gotten a v8 if u were goin to do mods like that to it.

I was really thinking of modding it when I started. I didn't know anything about it prior to purcashing the truck. Total noobie here.

The vehicle currently has dual exhaust with Magnaflow(not sure of model) with 2" pipes. It does have a nice low rumble(imo) But since I can't afford a new crate engine, and am not a mechanic rebuilding and dropping a new one in is out of the question for now.

I'd love to drop a nice big block in there if anyone wants to donate me a cherried out engine and trans for Xmas

 

Put the header money toward a 5.3 or 6.0 swap

 

im 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

 

I've got a make-it-myself CAI and a Magnaflow 14" case muffler...plenty for me. Save some $$$$ for a 6.0. I'm doing the same. Follow this though: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/showthread.php?t=378643

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 bighoss

I would love to save for a new engine, however I am married lol so saving for a new engine is not a big priority. I'll start saving my pocket change lol

 

I can't afford a new crate engine

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?

^This depends on the area...I know I can't find a 5.3 or a 6.0 for under $1000 around here.

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 ask questions when i don't understand, and I can't understand why a person would waste money and making the 4.3 fast.

It's only fast in an S10 or Sonoma :imo

 

He could build a decent 4.3 for a reasonable price. Find a 4.3 Mercruiser boat motor (some have 250ish hp) the 4.3 truck motors are only 190hp. get the cam/heads & intake and he could make a stout motor(for being a v6) heck now the friggin ruststangs come with 305hp v6's

 

But why when he could drop in a LQ4 for $800? :think:

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.

 

do it.

lol Pot meet kettle.... You put headers on your 4.8, why didn't you just swap in a 6.0?

 

Cause everything I do to my 4.8 can be swapped over to a 6.0 when I'm ready for it? :think:

And the 6.0 will put a smile on your face

this!!!!

 

You guys honestly think for $800 I can get a V8 completely installed and up in running? Not one that has 200k miles on it either

My point was that he doesn't have to fork out a huge amount for a crate engine.

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...
