A good motor, but the 4.3 is way behind the tech curve compared to the 4.8/5.3.

I honestly have not seen alot of reasonable/low budget ideas for the 4.3s. I like mine in my 2wd daily driver, but I don'tr think I would ever have ione in a 4x4.

You can probably get the computer retuned some, but other than the exhaust, not much in the lower budget range that I know of.

Far as costs go, I have no idea what one would cost now days. I had a friend do my 92, back in 93....so I got off easy.
