what are you goals and can your current setup take it?

Will be a bad ass truck anyways... and it wont ruin the value of it because its yours. You didn't buy your transam to suit a future buyer, so why not make another Mighty Mouse creation of your own.

I voted V8 as long as you update us on the project! lol

I say keep the v6. Everyone is putting an LS1 in everything and even I'm getting bored with Ls1 this and LS1 that.

Unless you're aiming to make it a Parish killer.

Haha. It takes a 4.3 liter V6 to turn all the LSX clowns into purists? I love it.

I voted LS1. It's okay for trucks to sound like trucks.

Don't ruin a rare truck. Leave the 4.3.
