Re: 4.3 V-6 into a F-Bird?

I was trying to stay away from the 3.4's/3.8's because of the head/intake
gasket problems.

I had the 4.3 in mind because of the larger size..
( and I don't think it was problem plagued like the above motors are)

...I didn't want to go the v-8 route.

I thought the 3.4 and the 4.3 would be close (external size)
and the electronics would interchange.(computer functions/compatibility)
( Also that they came in S-10's...quite common
find with reasonable amount of usable mileage still left in them)

I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it....just wanted some insight if  I do go
for
it.
