The 4.3 was the base engine in later Montes and El Caminos, just like the base option for your keyboard is to HAVE THE CAPS LOCK TURNED OFF!

Oh really I seen a elcamino 4 sale awhile back with a 4.3 init I thought maybee they just swapped in

The 4.3 was used in the G bodies long before it was ever used in the S-10. I think it's first application was in the Astro/Safari van and maybe the Caprice, but the G body may have gotten it the same year. It was definitely the best of the non turbo V6 engines used in G bodies, but I have always wondered why the low line Chevys got it and the higher line cars didn't?

The 4.3 was put in starting in 85, TBI was added in 86 for G bodys.

I had an 85 Monte with the 4.3 TBI.

85 and later G Body's could have had a 4.3. Late 85 TBI became standard on um. My 87 LS had one when I go it, in fact it's laying in my garage with all of 57k actual on it if anyone wants it 😳 I also had a buddy that had a GP with a TBI 4.3 in it. Don't remember what year it was tho, one of the later one's I'm sure. And I heard of a guy with a cutty that had one 87ish but I never seen it, just a picture.

The 4.3 was only offered in 85-88 Monte Carlos and 85-87 El Caminos. All were TBI and no other G-body cars had them. I had one in my old 86 Monte LS, was the perfect engine for a daily driver.

My 80' has a 4.3 in it. A 4.3l v8. Does that count?
