i havent seen alot of 300k 4.3s. mine my dads my gpops and my 2 friends all our 4.3s took craps around 150. parts for suzuki motors to chevy motors is pretty much same in price. got to think to suzuki motors have less parts, easy to maintain, more space in engine bay and they are a whole lot lighter than the cast iron v6s. when you add that type of weight in the front, your steering will be harder, parts will wear faster also the money it takes to do the v6 swap u can do a full rebuild on a suzuki motor and have goodies on it.
