I like the idea of the swap, but I would have personally also put in a V8 as well.

The HP rating of the Vortec 4.3L is approx 190hp for the 4wd models of the S-10/Blazer - S15/Jimmy, which is the same for the HO 4.0L.. Do not remember the RPM of peak HP tho.

The 4.3L is stiff available in the full size.. and the 4.3L in the full size is rated at approx. 210hp.
