ok my 2.2 in my 95 dime took a dump and I can get my hands on a 4.3 for cheaper than another 4 banger.. is it a pretty easy swap or more trouble than its worth? thanks guys

motor mounts, just make sure you get the ecm and wireing harness. you can find tons of info on the swap.

im pretty sure u cant...i might be wrong tho....but the 5spd xmember will work w/ the automatic 4L60E tranny w/ just a little trimming

the fuel pumps are not the same....the 4 cyl takes 45-55 psi and the V6 takes 57-62psi if i remember right

do you know what 5 spd was used in the 4.3 5spd stock s-10s?

I would look it up in my 1998 GM S/T truck service manuals but i only have volume's 1 and 2 , volume 3 has tranny/engine info
