I have the 4.3 with 5 speed manual trans in my '89 and love it. My dream would be, if I ever want to dump the tired 216 in my '40, this would be an awesome, fun to drive combination! And, being shorter than the bolt, you can do AC, etc. easily. But then again, that old bolt sounds pretty good...... smile
