The worst is when they haggle you down and then not show. It's like a F'n game for them. I'm glad i moved to Texas, but Texans are the worst and I've lived all over this country.
I wouldn't waist too much $$ on a 4.3. I did some research a few years back and custom heads and forged cranks for those things are very pricey. Anything over 300hp is pushing the reliability of those stock parts. If you want something different, then I say go for it, but the V8 will actually...
