https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...questions.html This one was a few lines down

The 4.3L has the same bolt pattern on the front and black as a 1-piece RMS 350. so you would need the accessories and a transmission that will fit to a 350.

motor mounts. These mount to the same place as your 2.8L

What you want to do with the fuel injection is up to you

use a syclone/typhoon intake, that's what I would use. I don't know how well the 200-4r will hold up. you can probably get a 700 out of a salvage yard for 200. That's not saying that the 700 will hold too much either
