well the 4.3L has more power and torque then my 1998 small block v8 350 5.7L engine in my old truck which is a powerful beast of an engine so I didn't see a reason to spend an extra $1100 for the v8 for power i'll never use.

if money wasn't an issue I wouldn't have to think about it but money is tight which is why im going with the stripped down WT version
