Nice to see a "true" stock engine being used. So many people say stock when in reality they added after market heads, cams, etc. the only thing left that is stock is the block.

Oldsmobile(being GM still) made a chevy blazer/gmc jimmy look-alike called the bravada. It came with a "smarttrak" system that controlled a transfer case (like a 4wd) into going from 2wd, into awd automatically. Giving better traction when needed. Was great for older fold up north in the snow or lived down dirt roads. They could get in it and forget it. My boss has one 190k still running. My point was they use these transfer case in replacement of the 4x4 t case bolt right in I would assume. I haven't done much research on the topic specifically but I've seen guys do it.

@manworksgarage Ай бұрын

@BlackandWhitecustoms I agree with that. I was just comparing 20lb vs 20lbs. Impressed the 4.3 was at same 420 whp. With an auto vs a manual at that. Obviously the 2jz is smaller gonna need more boost but it's got a probably much better head plus vvti.

@BlackandWhitecustoms found a dyno video. 2jz with th400. 499 at wheels 27 psi. Now 27 may blow up the 4.3. Idk. But it's pretty stock. I don't agree the 2jz is so much better than other engines. 500 I a lot more than the original 300 to 326. So it will always take a toll. It's a rather small engine.

Nice video. I'm guessing the stock V6 Vortec heads is where the most power could be had. There isn't really much out there in the aftermarket for the 4.3L V6 other than Brodix has some heads for it. I'm not sure about cams and intakes. You could do some good porting on those heads and get great gains over the stock flow. I think I read somewhere that someone (Hot Rod?) did some flowbench testing and the gains were significant but compared to aftermarket V8 heads, they we're low. Keep plugging along. Nice to see the 4.3L get some recognition for a power build. Oh, and PowerNation has a 4.3L build going on right now that you might be able to snag some ideas from.

Nice build. I think you’re just not revving high enough on the stock cam/springs to take advantage of your new intake setup. The marine parts for these engines work quite well on stock blocks up to ~5000 RPM but if you were to take it higher with a bigger cam I believe the new intake would have picked up power. Regardless it’s making good numbers for a bone stock 4.3.

What would 400 wheel be at the crank? 460-500? That auto is a 4l60e and might be the first thing to go. I'd like to see some porting, cam and springs and a bump up in compression then take it to 600 wheel. If a good crank is available and you forge the bottom you should be ale to run 1000 hp or close to it. But you will need a built turbo 400 and a beefier 3rd member. I would like to see you find the breaking point of the stock short block when you are ready to build the bottom. I think V6's can handle as much as V8's because they are more compact. We used to hit Ford 3.8's with a lot of boost or N20 and they held up to about 800 hp. Where as the 4.6 would break the block at 450 to 500. Love watching this. Keep going.

Your forcing air in the intake doesn't matter unless it has a huge restriction. The cylinder heads are the worst thing if I could find some good heads for my 4.3 vortec I'd bet that alone could make noticable power gains. Forcing air in isn't really an issue you need to improve the exhaust ports on the heads.
