Is that a 4.3L V8 equipped vehicle?
4.3l is a v6
No, there is a 4.3L V6 (262 ci) that is a 5.7 (350ci) with two cylinders chopped off - this was used in trucks, not sure if it was used in cars.
There was also a 4.3L v8, which was I guess a smaller brother to the 5.0L v8, which when two cylinders were lobbed off I suppose became the common 3.8L v6. (dont quote me on it, I just did the rough math)
There was a GM 4.3 v6 and a 4.3 V8
when someone says "4.3" they are referring to the chevy V6. the limited 267ci V8 was never referred to this way, and it actually converts out to 4.4 liters anyway.
the GM 3.8 is the buick 231.
the 4.3 was arrived at by taking a 350 (5.7l) and taking 2 cyl off.
