Gonna start a rebuild 4.3L
I am picking up a 4.3l 262 motor this weekend. My truck currently has one in it but, i stumbled upon one on Craigslist with a transmission. I wanna do a full build and put a 200 shot of nitrous on it, or turbo. Wondering if anyone has done a build on one of these?
I can do the turbo EASILY, i picked up a set of SYCLONE headers about three days ago. Ill get pics of everything i have this weekend.
I will also be building a TH350 Transmission and 10bolt rear end for it.
Added:: I would like run TBI but can get a fuel injection kit and stand alone computer for it if the TBI doesnt handle the turbo set up. Any ideas would be appreciated.

WHy a 4.3? I dont know. I have always been the guy to pull as much out of a tiny motor that i could. And, it is original. Everyone builds a SBC, no one builds a V6. And the turbo set up sounds like a good idea. I did surf Jegs and Summit, there is a lot more out there engine wise for a 305 - 350.
If im going v8 and gas guzzler, its going to be a 454.
heres the engine bay in my old ford.
460 - Bored and stroked to a 554, shaved heads Crane Cam, Weind Intake, Holley 995 CFM Carb.
