Looks very good! Did you do a complete stock rebuild, or any mods to it?

Now time for the inevitable question... Why rebuild the 4.3 for it instead of do a 5.7 swap? Just curious 8)

i rebuilt that one because i got it and the transmission (mine didnt have reverse) for a great price.... $50 from my brother in law. PLus this is my daily driver, didnt wanna get to deep into a complete swap and i am currently looking for a new toy to play with, i will get stupid with that. And i didnt do a complete rebuild, the motor only had 50k on it. just pulled the heads and cleaned everything up replacing everything that needed it. Just got done cleaning up the engine bay today, would try and get more done today but i gotta get home, got about 20 people coming over for the ravens game..... GO RAVENS!!!!!!! haha Dont hate me

I can understand that 8)

It is very clean and should go pretty good under the hood of your car!

yeah, my wife has no clue why i did all that work for a "MOTOR". she just doesnt understand how our man brain works, plus it looks nice and its alot easier to work on clean.
