The 4.3 is a totally different engine design. Basically, it's a small block 350 with two cylinders missing. The bellhousing pattern is the same as a v8, so the smaller v6 trans won't match up.

anything can be done...i don't really know why you would want to though. if i'm going through the hassle of swapping motors, then i'm throwing in a v8...just me though.

Not without swapping in a different computer compatible with the 4.3.
It would be a lot easier, and better performance wise, if you went with a carburetor and a stand-alone distributor. Any reason you want to keep the (cough, cough) TBI setup?

i mean you can make a 4.3 run like a raped ape...but put the same money into a 350 and you're going a whole lot faster. i just think you'd be wasting your money. however, part of me likes the idea of being different
