I have heard some rumblings about the 4.2L 6cyl from the later model trucks can be swapped out in place of the 3.8L. Can you do a direct swap of the blocks and bolt up our heads, sc , etc.? Or is it just that you can put a 4.2L in our bay without the sc?
I am somewhat curious because if my poor 95' ever kicks the bucket, I would like some options that could prove more reliable/less work to get a shop to work on it. Some shops won't touch the SC engine and the few that do sometimes don't know what they are doing. Would be somewhat nice to just put a N/A engine in her and call it a day. But would still like a little oomph without going nuts on bolt ons.
If it is already discussed here somewhere , please forgive me. I am still waiting on my membership to process and searched the public forums to no avail.
Thanks
