haha cpw poly mounts on the stock 4.3 perches.
just sat the engine in to test fit. pulled it back out to make a couple adjustments and realized i had a damn 4wd trans.
i dropped the trans off today to have the output shaft and tail shaft converted over to a 2wd. hope to have it back in a day or two. so bummed out
i started wetsanding the paint today and i hate it already lol

Ok cool I guess they most have changed the engine mounts on the 4.3 in 93 or something lol I remember the 4.3 mounts in my 92 s10 don't look like that
So the headers fit without any cutting, that's good to know
