Vortec V6

I put a 97 4.3 liter V6 vortec and auto trans in my 89 convertible. A relatively easy, but time consuming swap, except it took a year to get the computer wired correctly. I kept the AC comp, power steering pump and alternator from the chevy. Had to move the compressor a few inches to get the hood to close. Also cut a hole in the hood and install a fake air scoop to get clearance above the throttle body air intake. I love the low end torque. The non-turbo rotary had an auto tranny and was a dog off the line. will be glad to give more info if anyone wants.
