Its cause they use a proprietary starter they make in house and where they put it the starter conflicts with the aluminum oil pan.

I have a friend who, if you get on him hard enough, welds aluminum. Worst case I buy an older 4.3 and use an older block. But more than likely the oil pan is going to be custom.



So 5 speeds can't take the torque?

I have decided to tone it down a bit on the engine. No aggressive cam, light boost, stock or dish toped pistons, and only a 25 shot of nitrous at best.

I'd say 300#s on a good day.
