    What to do with swapped 4.3

    Hey all,
    Performing a 4.3 to 5.3 swap. Any good ideas on what to do with that old 4.3? Go kart? build a boat around it? How could i get the most money out of it? It had a big tick when cold, is the reason im swapping, so it may need some work. Thanks
    02 RCSB 4.3 to 5.3 swap with an EBAY CAI.

    Sell it, recoup a couple hundred buck from your swap

    Yeah I got rid of my 4.3 with EVERYTHING for 300. My buddy had a bad lifter in his 4.3 sonoma and just did an outright swap. Had 80k on the 4.3
