It should be pretty much a bolt-in deal. If I remember right GM offered the 3.4L as a crate motor replacement for the problem-prone 2.8L V-6.

Can't say I've ever heard of that swap. Neat. If a 3.4L fits, why not a 4.3? Just curious.

The 4.3 is a totally different engine. Different bolt pattern, different accessory group...

The 3.4L and info can be seen here:

Ah, got it. Seemed like it would be part of the same family. Learn something new everyday.
