I know engine conversions are a controversial subject but I am doing some research and entertaining the 2014 Chevy 4.3 V6. There have been many 4.3 conversions but the new engine is all aluminum with 290 HP. From what I read, its uses the LS1 platform and we already have the flywheel, transmission adaptor and other part dimensions already done for us. The prices are high right now but I know in 2 years or so I plan on getting a salvage Chevy truck and make it happen. So why not do the LS1? because is just too big, I think this 4.3 would be a better fit. I would like to hear your thoughts..... Dan
