Re: putting in a 4.3 in my 86 runner

I have the 4.3 and still run a stock radiator.  At first it ran a little hot if I hammered on the motor, but now I am running a giant slimline fan and never goes over 190.  I do use the motor real hard when playing in the mud, just gotta make sure the radiator stays clean.  I would recommend changing over to the auto trans.  I have driven standards off road for almost twenty years and finally switched to auto.  I'm loving it...
