Trouble is after I get home from work its 4:20ish... By 6:15ish its dark here...

Doesnt give me much time to find a car. I took the day off to find a car and came out pretty much empty handed...

I might just be trying to fix the Buick myself...

haha, I would take a 4.3 over a 2.4 anyday... Valve guide/seals are probably the weakest point on the 4.3s, wah... I'll agree with the gas milage thought, I averaged around 20 though.... To bad you didnt live closer to me, I could find you a good low milage tranny for 50-100 and help you put it in one weekend... If nothing else missouri has some pretty cheap parts, just have to know where to look.

I thought the blazers/jimmy's had 4.6's?

The Beretta tranny isnt quite right either...

I got a few days to figure this out...

no the 4.6 is in ford pick ups and mustangs. how about like a honda or something those things last for ever even if you dont do anything to it?

Nope they come with the 4.3 Heck of a motor IMO. Just a 350 with 2 cylinders choped off. Makes it really easy to get parts for them.

Go with a new chevy cobalt, toyota corola or mazda3 or something along those lines. With buyer incentives, new car financing (lower percentage rates and longer finance terms), etc., you should be able to get a brand new car for about $200/mo.
