I'm planning to replace the (ruined) GM 4.3 V6 engine in my 1987 Four Winns 19 ft boat. I think I have identified a donor vehicle at the local salvage yard -- a 2002 GMC Sonoma. I understand I would need to install a different intake manifold to convert the engine to a carbureted setup. Specifically, I plan to use an Edelbrock 2114 manifold.
My question is, what carburetor would be appropriate for this setup? I am thinking perhaps an Edelbrock 1409, but that is just a guess based on no actual knowledge.
Other things I think I will need to deal with in this project:
- switch to an electric fuel pump
- change accessory belt system from v-belt to serpentine/ribbed belt
- possibly a different flywheel (something to do with a one-piece vs. two-piece seal?)
Thanks for any input.
