Re: pulling the 4.3 v6

Go to the Adults Only sticky and download manual #25. Section 2A is all about removal and installation.
Also download manual #14. That will give you info for removing the drive. (Yes, you have to pull the drive first)
There are plenty of pictures and instructions. Be careful of the lifting points you use on the engine. Some may look like lifting eyes, but aren't.
