Engine swap possible w/ GM 4.3 V6
My dad and I were talking over some beers... Is this possible? I was telling him that Rodeos use a GM transmission (2001 anyway). Not that we would be capable really of converting this but just wondering. We both have had the 4.3 and loved it.
Thanks

Anything is possible, but I don't think the 4.3 GM will bolt up to the trans.
You would need, new motor mounts, new wireharness, new ECU, new transmission....

Re: Engine swap possible w/ GM 4.3 V6
If it's been done, the information is out there somewhere. The 4.3L is basically a small block V-8 minus two cylinders. The early Rodeo's used 3.1L V-6 GM engines. Basically the same GM v-6 that is still in use in new GM cars. As far as I know, the 4.3L and the 3.1L do not share the same bellhousing bolt pattern and I don't know if the Isuzu 3.2L kept the bolt pattern from the GM v-6 or not.
I think a more interesting match-up would be a 3.8L supercharged V-6 out of a Pontiac Grand Prix or similar vehicle.
