Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hi All,
Has anyone installed a
GM 4.3 Vortec Engine into their Bus?
What type of clearance do you have,
top and bottom?
What problems did you have with the installation?
Also, Does anyone have any thoughts on the 4.3 Compared to the 3.3 as far as
our application?
Torque, HP, ease of installation, costs, longevity?
thanks,
John C...verses
