This is funny. I hear a lot of "I have ", and I will. Not any, My engine. 380 hp big number !! at the crank , What would that be at the wheels? For a 4 wheel drive v6? Then remember that you also have nitrous and that 383hp is before the nitrous is on.
Sometimes people don't believe what they can't see or touch . Why does it matter so much ? I have seen differences of as much as 30 hp from dyno to dyno just because the base numbers and temps were inputed diffrently. I can give you some great numbers by telling the comp that it is 90 deg out. or -14 deg. The dyno is a tool ! Not a fact ! do one test today and the numbers will change for tommorows session. Time slips count not dyno's. there are so many teams that have never dynoed their engines or cars. Do you believe them when they tell you their HP numbers? Weight x time x distance can give you a rough HP # . Without a dyno.
And by the way some shops and dyno guys thought that I had a v8 when I pulled into their shop and looked mighty surprised to see a v6 on the valve covers. Sound can be made to be just how you like it.That is what the major carmanufactur do, they have whole sections of people devoted to just making cars and trucks sound good. Jba ceramic shorties, 2 1/2 inchstainles y pipe, High flow stainless cat, Jba 3 inch stainles exhaust system. It does sound good, the important thing is that it sounds good to me.
And i am not questioning any ones ability to build engines what i am questioning is what they know about the 4.3 v6. My engine is in my car and running. Not on a wish list or sitting in a corner. Go back to some of my past threads this has all been dealt with before. You can see outright some of the things that have been done to my Blazer. along with modifying parts to make them work on the v6, and tracking down this and that. Me and my Dremel are on a first name basis. the fun and headaches are worth it. Just want to share what I have done so far and to not start arguments or make foes. This is a fun project.
And where the heck did I say that I ran 8's? I wish, Not with a 4000lb Blazer . Where is this 8's thing ? And street racing is not what I do, I have raced on the street , But it is not a practice. That post is not from me!!

Don't get me wrong , I know a 350 has great HP potential that is why I am building one, it will be supercharged also, But how many people can say that they have a 4.3 that can run in the eights, There are a few 4.3's that are twin turbo'd and put out 1100 HP, why invest money in a 15 year old Blazers? For that matter why invest money in any car? Why because you can. WE LOVE OUR BLAZERS! That is why we look at these forums, they have problems and breakdowns but we fix them right back up again.
If you do put in your 350 think about strengthening your front suspension and your rear driveline, address the new handling issues, Many people say that if you have tbi you can do a direct swap but think of getting bigger injectors so you don't run lean.
Make sure that you use a heat barrier on your fire wall you will find out later if you don't , I have built a few engines in my life, before you drop it in freshen it up, better to do it now before it goes under the hood, sounds like I am preaching- just experience. And lastly HAVE FUN!! The first burn out is always the best!

Also, I thought you would know this already since you have such an extensive background in the 4.3L v6, but the 4.3L is just a 5.7L v8 with 2 less cylinders. So what I know about the 350 DIRECTLY translates to what I know of the 4.3L. Engine building is engine building regardless of how many cylinders you have. But you would already know that if you actually did the work on your truck.
You keep jawing about this and that, but you still have produced NOTHING to give any credit to the words you spew forth. Since you share the same feeling I have on dyno's and since I have already asked for time slips, please provide them. You throw a LOT of numbers around, but you seem like you are more and more like a politician and less and less like a genuine hotrodder.
I'll also add that you DIRECTLY questioned my knowledge on this subject. I build things with my hands. I design things with my mind. I DO ALL OF THIS, MYSELF! I have answered your questions on my knowledge, background, and experiences. What about you? Nothing but talk and misdirection.
And exactly what part of the description of MY CHEVELLE ENGINE did you not understand??? Again, you are attacking what we (I) have done without actually comprehending a word of what has been said. I'll reiterate for you. My 355 v8 (350 0.030 over) ran 386HP / 425ftlb on a chassis dyno back in '94. I built the engine myself when I was 15 with only having a machine shop prep the block with the 0.030 overbore. But I guess that doesn't count. It is painfully obvious that I know nothing of what I speak and am just bustin' your ***** because I have nothing better to do cause I'm still living in my parents basement... LMAO!!! Yeah Right.
How about a video of that bad Blazer "SS" at the track. Lets see what that pooch can dooo. ..(nope no typo folks)..

He has pictures HERE.
He has thrown out a bunch of things in various posts on this forum, but never a clear and concise list. I have no doubts that he has a CSC on his truck, but he has failed to answer what any person who actually did the work should be able to. Compression ratio, cylinder head work, valve work, intake and exhaust work, bottom end work, etc. I am leaving out a big chunk and lets see if he covers it with his mods list. BlazerSS, don't leave anything out because I will know. And as you well know, I will not hesitate to call BS on it. There are some fundamental upgrades that have to happen when you are pushing the kind of power that you state you are pushing.
I've helped you enough.

For one thing that was taken out of context !! Show the rest of the post !! That was about a 8 second S 10 drag truck. that was running 8's , there was also a link to it ,to show the truck. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT !! Show the link and the post !!
Should I have to divulge everything ? People do like to keep some things to themselves. I have posted a lot of useful information on 4 different sites. The good thing is that I posted the stuff that actually works , not the snake oil stuff. If you want a performance V6 read my posts and how too's . If you want to plagerize and take things out of context, go right ahead.
One secret that I will duvulge. Are you ready Here it is . MY VALVETRAIN IS ALL TITANIUM !! Except for the Beehive springs . Here is another one . My heads are ported to within a inch of there life ! Okay one more. Not all of the money was spent on the engine. The inside of my Blazer has more creature comforts and aftermarket accessories than some cadilacs . I don't even have to turn on the windshield wipers , the rain does it for me.
This is myBlazer I can do what I want. I don't have to show what I don't want to , And I don't have to prove a single thing ! There is so much that you cant see from the pictures, besides those pictures are OLD!! That Dyno video is old !! I will post new pictures when I have the time to wait for them to upload. Till then , Read the full post about that whole 8 second thing.
