    4 banger to v8 smart idea or no?

    don't go with a v8....take it from someone who has done it. Way too much torque for these little guys. I'm taking mine out and going with the 4.3 vortec. unless you plan on working your way throught the entire drivetrain to beef up the weak points you're wasting your time. I ended up putting in...
