I don't think you could 'lose' with either one. I've put a lot of miles on a 4.3 GM. One I owned & the other was a co. owned pickup. One thing I would highly recommend is the 3:73 gearset - the 3;08 or 3:42's would be a deal breaker for me. I don't 'buy' the salesman's bull snot about about better mileage with the higher gearsets. That may have had some truth to it before the mfgrs. started putting overdrive transmissions in pickups.

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
