I've used both the 4.3 mounts and the 2.8 mounts, please use the 2.8 mounts, you won't regret it. The 4.3 mounts, as stated previously will sit the V8 at the same height as the 4.3, but you'll want it lower due to the front of the motor. The 2.8 mounts are actually stronger because they are fully incompassed in metal. The rubber on the 4.3 mounts will break after time and then you'll have a big ol V8 that's not being held down very great under the hood of your dime. Good luck on the swap, V8 S10's are fun it they are done correctly!!!!
