Blown head gasket on the V6.  Can a 350 drop in or are there frame/motor mount issues?

4.3 is basically a 350 with two less cylinders. 350 will drop right in. May have to have the ecu for the 350 though.

Engine mount s will bolt up, but only if ya move the trans back. Or the Astro van folks use adapter plast to move the mounts a bit. I also could make someone a deal on parts for the 4.3.
