#4.3L (262 cid) is 3/4 of the SBC 350 and as such, shares some of the parts and dimensions with the 350. Made 1985-2014. The 1992 model year saw the first use of a balance shaft; all 1995-present 4.3L V6 engines are equipped with a balance shaft. The 4.3L V6 got a revised cylinder head in 1996 with specs much like the SBC V8 [[Vortec L31 cylinder head]]. Passenger car usage was limited to B and G-bodies; after 1990 (with the exception of some 1991-'92 fleet Caprice) the 4.3L V6 was used exclusively in truck/van/SUV and marine/industrial use.

The 4.3L V6 has the advantages of far better availability, a larger displacement and larger bore diameter than the 200 cid or 229 cid V6. It also enjoys better aftermarket support. For these reasons, the 4.3L Chevy V6 is the preferred Chevrolet V6-90 engine for performance use.
