Wow! I had the Vortec 4.3L in my 1996 S-10 pickup. It was quite the power horse. I drove from LA to Lancaster (CA) with 2 Oldsmobile 455 engines and 2 TH400 transmissions in the back. Pretty much bottomed-out the rear but still had plenty of power to climb the grade. Kinda still wish I had that truck.

I could live with a 4.3L engine in my 3T if it was legally permissible....

Think the MPG could get better with an engine that CAN pull 5,500lbs? As much as I want a 4BT or something I could see the 4.3L being better off. I had a 98 2 door blazer with the 4.3L and I truly LOVED that little SUV.
