Eric - I'm curious.  From my understanding of the nature of the V-6, ALL
of them depend upon some serious counterweighting and dynamic balancing
to get them to run smoothly.  The GM 2.8 & 3.8s seem to me to be damn
smooth running engines, at least in the GM products I've driven.  The
4.3L is nothing more than a 350 Chevy with two cylinders lobbed off.  As
a result, parts, especially the rods, pistons and valves are MUCH
cheaper than the 2.8 & 3.8.
