Re: The (first?) Chevy Diesel was a Dud?!?

The only problem I see with a 4.3 V6 is you may be unhappy with the power. Probably do pretty good on fuel, but I think I would sacrifice a little fuel economy for the torque of the v8. You can build a fairly fuel efficient 350 with the right parts. Or if you put in a Vortec v8 you could probably get 17 mpg highway I would guess.
