Topic: 4.3 vortec engine parts

[toyman1994]

Okay, picking up a 4.3 vortec this weekend and I need to find a few things. If anyone can help me out that would great.

1. TBI, nearest I can tell it can come off of 5.7, 5.0, or of course the 4.3

2. Engine harness and ECM/ECU

3. Exhaust manifolds

and if by any chance anyone has a bellhousing adapter to mate chevy engine to the toy trans W56 that would be a bonus.

I am sure there is going to be more but this is the biggest things I am going to have to gather.

Thanks in advance.

I am hoping someone closer has them also but options are good.  Does the TBI have the sensors on it?

thanks but I already scored some headers from a friend of Tice's.  Thanks again.

what headers did you get, im gonna be needing some too, what tranny are you running and are you going to run a Y pipe or connector of some sort?

The headers I got are some edelbrock shorty's, they are not a perfect fit and will require some modifications on the passenger side.  It shouldn't be too bad though, either cut the collector off and shorten it up a bit or heat them up with a torch and bend it up a bit.  Either way it won't take much.  I am going to just run dual exhaust, just make it easier to run it down.  I don't have emissions here so no biggie for me.

As far as which tranny, I am keeping with my stock W56 so I don't have to modify a bunch of stuff to make my dual cases adapt to something.  I was thinking of going to an SM420 which will bolt straight to the 4.3 but I couldn't find an adapter for my duals.  I know there has to be some out there but oh well.  I do know there was no way in hell I was going to go with a slushy.

well im running a 700r4 and ive been told that with the 5 sp youll need ot modify the exh to clear the throwout arm??

[toyman1994 [OP]]

it looks like the arm is fine, it's th frame that is in the way for me.
