4.3 L35 Engine Used
The L35 V6 is a 4.3L engine built by GM in 1996 and used in multiple motor vehicles. While the Vortec brand was already established, a change to the heads on the block were the biggest difference between late model builds. Many people still search the secondary inventory from salvage yards to find a 4.3L L35 engine used. PTG supplies 6-cylinder builds for sale on this website.
Specs for the 4.3-Liter Block
While there are different variations of the 4.3 motor series, there are major variances in the horsepower ratings. The L35 series features the 180, 190 and 200 horsepower range. This division of power is supported with the 9:2:1 ratio for compression. This setup was standard on all units produced between 1996 and 2002. The RPM rating is fixed between 4440 and 4600.
The late model 4.3-liter V6 blocks that featured the Vortec heads were manufactured with a sequential fuel injection system. This electronic unit was created to perform better than the TBI units that were used on other versions of 6-cylinder blocks in the General Motors family. Some third-party upgrades are available that supplied a reworked camshaft although these were not standard on the OEM installations.
Vehicles Using 4.3 L35 Engines
The most successful motor vehicles produced during the production run of the 4.3L block included the C/K, Silverado, Astro and Safari vans, S10, Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Sonoma, Bravada and Chevy Express vans.
