This is a standard LB4 4.3L from an Astro van. Non balance shaft, over 200K miles on it. I'm in Joliet Illinois so if you want it come grab it as a replacement or an engine to build up.

Re: A few 4.3L things... I have a buddy of mine that is interested. PMed you his info

Re: autometer pyrometer That includes the probe right? Just double checking.

Can I use a balance shaft cam in a non balance shaft motor? Just curious.

Re: GMC Monsoon Concept (Artwork) I like the idea myself, power train swaps into these vans have been done. (afterall it's where they looted the T-case and some front axle bits from) They are significantly bigger than a Typhoon but at the same time if they were set up right would possibly be...

Re: race engine Depending on what you're looking to do, the 4.3L versus the 3.8 is an interesting debate. Here's my objective take on it: Heads-Vortecs availible for the 4.3L, modern chambers good flow characteristics and larger valves when compared to the stocker Buick heads. Otherwise...

Re: Myclone is gone My goodness, that's terrible. My condolences.

Re: Raced a Mitsubishi Evolution all done up & convertable sl 500 Mercedes I've been meaning to get some "H"es to hang from my rear view mirror. Also, do you have a quiet exhaust? Get something louder. Gotta advertise.

Re: I need a new kill sticker for the SY You need to start getting hood ornaments. I wanna go by the JY and get half a dozen "H"es to hang from my rear view mirror.

Re: Turbo Safari? Just FYI the gentleman you posted the links to for the turbo astro is a Syclone owner, a GN owner and a TB SS owner too :)

Re: Turbo Safari? hehe, a person after my own heart (I'm one of those nutbags that's into hopping up mini vans, my Astro's getting a 305 TPI) Actually an AWD isn't any heavier then your Typhoons probably if so minimally so. My RWD weighed in at 3730, A/C, full interior less rear seat...

Re: Got my first ticket today in the Ty on Hwy. 9, Total BS yeah, supervision was a good bet honestly; I've got 8 months left on mine. If you can get any way of taking a ticket W/O points even if you have to pay more it's a good deal IMHO. It's not the tickets that kill you it's the ins...

Re: Megasquirt 2 project is a go it's been a while but if I remember correctly the white wire coming off of the HEI dizzy is your ignition pick up. http://www.megasquirt.info/ms2/GM_7pinHEI.htm This will tell you how to connect the HEI setup, use the optical input jumpers when you hard...

Re: Megasquirt 2 project is a go Just wanted to say good luck with your setup, I've done an MS2 on a 1227747 box before, it should be very close to yours. The 4L60E definitely complicates things, you need the tach signal and the MAP sensor signal. the stock GM TB is probably fine for what...
