Alright guys here goes. My brother in law has my old '82 GMC 3/4 ton that has a 250 6-cyl. and auto trans. Him being 18 he wants the 250 pulled out and has a 4.3 v-6 from a chevy astro van given to him. The 4.3 runs perfect because it's still in the van which has no title "lost in a bank loan". Is this swap even possible? If so what will it take? I'm trying to talk him into trading for a 305 or 350, but some people just don't give up. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but what kinda problems would this be? Thanks in advance for the replies JOE
