*200 cid (3.4L) cid, basically 3/4 of the piss-poor 267 cid SBC V8. Made 1978–'79.   
*229 cid (3.8L, not to be confused with the Buick-derived 3.8L 231 cid V6 used through the years), is 3/4 of the not-quite-as-bad 305 SBC V8. Made 1980-'84.

*229 cid (3.8L, not to be confused with the Buick-derived 3.8L 231 cid V6 used through the years), is 3/4 of the mostly ignored 305 SBC V8. Made 1980-'84.
*4.3L (262 cid), the best of the bunch by far. This is 3/4 of the SBC 350 and as such, shares some of the parts and dimensions with the 350. Made 1985-present. The 1992 model year saw the use of balance shafts; all 1995-present 4.3s are balance shaft equipped.

The 1992 model year saw the use of balance shafts; all 1995-present 4.3s are balance shaft equipped. The 4.3L V6 got a revised cylinder head in 1996 with specs much like the SBC V8 [[Vortec L31 cylinder head]].
