If you are talking about a chevy t-56, yep, it will work...

The 4.3 is basically a SBC, with 2 cylinders lopped off(VERY dumbed down verion)...

IIRC, just check the splines on the input shaft, and the spline on the clutch plate, match...

I had a Centerforce in my 4.3 5spd truck, and when I swapped to SBC, it the tranny, and flywheel, and everything bolted right to the engine, re-did the motor mounts, and moved on...

Heres a link I found from an s10 Forum discussing what is involved with swapping in a T56 behind a 4.3 V6

This is my next step in my toyota once the 700r4 goes out, a manual trans behind any v6 is almost mandatory IMO unless your v6 has a **** load of power.
