:I've got a 1992 GMC 1500 2WD with a V6 4.3L in it that just doesn't stir the koolaid, if you know what I mean. I'd like something that makes my truck fun to drive. I'm going to guess that my little V6 puts out about 150HP and about the same in TQ, and by no means does that pin me to the seat. I went down to the GMC dealership today and asked about engine swaps...they told me it was going to be about $11k to buy/install the engine, and the engine we were talking about was definitely no monster, either. Every shop I've called where I live doesn't do engine swaps. Anybody ever replaced a V6 with a nice V8 in the kind of truck I have? I've also been curious about emissions laws...I've heard that the MVD doesn't care what engine is in the vehicle, it has to pass emissions based on what was originally in the truck. What about that? I'm willing to replace the transmission and need to replace the rear end, if that helps at all.
