here is the scoop,, my daughter bought this wonderful car 4 years ago,, the transmission has been replaced twice and needs it again, love those trannys without the dipsticks, dont you :evil: ? The water pump went out again and of course the timing belt runs the w/p. So instead of putting in 3000.00 for the transmission & w/p timing componets,, here is my thought, I have 2 4.3 blocks heads ect,,, put a 4.3 together and I have a Astro van 4L60 transmission to swap in. I have the roller cam & lifter engine out of a 95 G30 one ton van,, (with a V-6??? wow) balance shaft motor, I plan on using a carb, wonder if I can use the Rodeo fuel pump and regulate it down? Not sure what the f/p is I will have to check, a non computer distribitor and fab my motor mounts & transmission crossmember. Any suggestions and issues you may have run into doing this chime in,, Thanks matty man 8)
