Hello, everyone.
We have a 1994 4.3 V6 with 2 barrel carb rated at 170hp. The motor is still running well but we are looking ahead...
Having looked at the rough costs or podding the boat and buying a suitable outboard, we have abandoned that idea.
Pricing out a new marine V6 looks to be approx $20K!!!
So, what would be involved in pulling the current motor, buying a good used 4.3 V6 with EFI from a wrecked auto, and installing it?
These motors can be had for well under $3K.
Please only answer if you have good information and/or experience with this transplant.
Opinions drive me nuts ;-)
Thanks in advance.
