i am now looking at a 4L ranger V6 or the 4.3L vortec from GM. The vortec is like 200hp! That would be cool in the old sammy! any body out there done anything like that?

There is a junk yard in Florida that does the 4.3 conversion. I have seen a few they have done and with the exception of the one that was driven by the owner's kid - they were all trash. In other words, don't get ropped in by them, do it all yourself.
There is alot of fabrication, including wrapping the passenger side exhaust around the front of the motor and down the driver side.
