Personally, I would stick with the 3.7L myself. It's lighter, and more fuel efficient than the 4.3L. You can still find them on CRAIGSLIST pretty frequently. Or if your into ULTIMATE economy and can afford it, go with one of the new light weight VM or CUMMINS diesel's.

Welcome to the site! I'm with the Ferm, I'd stick with the 470 Merc. What happened to your old motor? I checked into changing to a 4.3 but decided is would be cheaper to keep and rebuild what I had! What year is your V?

I replaced my 4.3 litre V6 2 years ago with one I bought off ebay (brand new). The motor went for $4,200 bucks. Not being handy enough to install it myself, it cost me about another $1,000 to have it installed (not counting $900 to redo the stringers for mounting).

Welcome BD, or welcome back.
Hey, if you are going to spend 5 or 6 grand to repower, why not yank the I/O and put on a bracket w/ OB. Just a thought.

stumbled across a dead 4.3 today. Looks like around 16" from the center line of the transom plate bolts forward for the center location of the side mounts
