My personal preference is the 3.9. Having owned/worked on them all, I feel like the reliability and performance was far greater than either 4.3 or 4.0.The 3.9 is worse actually. My Dad owned 3 S10 blazers, that's a fairly decent engine for the time, would take it over the 3.9 or the Ford 4.0 (either version)

They were fairly decent if they were maintained and not overheated.what ever happened to the AMC/Mopar 4.7? 310HP NET? Not too bad....
2008 Ram 1500 310 hp @ 5,650 rpm 329 lb-ft 3,950 rpm (at the wheels)
I remember reading a MoparAction mag article on it (2006 ish) and they said it was the new performance platform with performance parts in the works....yeah: like none?

Did any of those S10 Blazers have over 150k? I have never seen a high mileage 4.3 that didn't some like a freight train at startup. They are notorious for valve stem seals.
Not ours, sold all of them in the 130k range. A friend of ours had over 200k on his 92 (original owner) and it didn't smoke. Have a friend with a 96 Vortec 350 Silverado with 280k on it (it is the original engine) and it doesn't smoke like a chimney either. Maybe older ones like 87-91 (the TBI ones) do that because I have seen the same on the TBI 350s.
