I put a 87 4.3 with the 229 2 barrel intake, distributor, and exhaust manifolds in a chevy luv before and it ran great.

The 229 dist is semi-odd fire, 4.3L is even fire... you need a 4.3 distributor.

its the original transmission off the truck I think. the guy said i could have whatever else off the truck i needed so i was going to get the driveshaft, radiator and transmission crossmembermatty man said:You will need a new transmission cross member I do believe, possible drive shaft reduction, look in the tech section here and the dimensions are in there I think, thats a lot of transmission for a V-6 you will lose a lot of engine power just to drive the 400, are you planning on towing? Matty man 8) you will never have to worry about destroying that transmission though!!
the radiator and crossmember won't work, the driveshaft yoke will if it is a slip yoke83 MALI WAGON said:its the original transmission off the truck I think. the guy said i could have whatever else off the truck i needed so i was going to get the driveshaft, radiator and transmission crossmembermatty man said:You will need a new transmission cross member I do believe, possible drive shaft reduction, look in the tech section here and the dimensions are in there I think, thats a lot of transmission for a V-6 you will lose a lot of engine power just to drive the 400, are you planning on towing?
