@bandit3271980 also the turbo is refering to the turbo charger on the engine not the transmition

@Monst3r177 - He is referencing the 4.3 V6 GM engine, being nothing but a 350 cu. in. (5.7 L) engine with the 'back 2' cylinders cut off...which is the way that GM marketed the 4.3L V6 in the mid-80's...

The Pontiac 4.3 liter 265 V8 was a small bore 301. It was advertised at the time it was installed in production cars (1980-81) as a 4.4 liter engine presumably to differentiate itself from the small bore 262 4.3L Chev V8 (very closely related to the 305/350)of the same era. Some Firebirds had the Chev engine rather than the Poncho.

@cobra96svt570 You can put 5.7 pistons and rods in a 4.3? Incorrect. 5.7 pistons and rods have different bore and stroke then 4.3 pistons and rods. The 5.7 pistons and rods would not even fit in the block, the piston would be to big for the cylinder.
