Carbed 4.3L V6 😉

Basic NA Buildup was on an 85-92 TBI block, they worked the TBI heads  
(better if they used new vortecs)  
and swapped it over to a carb.

Heres the N/A Buildup, made 301 hp at 5,500 rpm

Now, heres where they slapped the Vortech Supercharger on there, made 501 hp at 6200 rpms… using the stock hydraulic lifters, :ohnoes: 6400 rpms, it popped a head gasket.
