I myself would start off around 5-6 psi and get it fueling then go up from there. Thats a pretty nice marine intake setup. I would love to see some numbers out of the little 4.3L.

both you can get them anywhere you can get the old 5.7 rods and pistons. if your replacing one or the other you might as well do both.

i thought that too. the rods are offset and the crank is a split jurnal crank so it won't work. pistons will though for the most part.
