Default Engine size differences

Those are both good motors but as most will tell you, if you ever take more
that a few people, you will wish you have a larger motor.

I think the smaller motor is the little 4 cylinder motor that was in the
Chevy II Nova compact car when I was a kid. The larger is a GM V6 which is
another popular motor.

The next step up is probably a GM 350ci V8 which will be even more power.

I think most will recommend you go to the 4.3 because it will be better with
a load.

I'm about to order a Chapparal 190 I/O.

I can get either the 3.0 Volvo or the 4.3.
Can someone tell me the difference in speed between the two.

I understand that most recommendations will be to the larger engine, but
cost is a consideration at $2000 higher for the 4.3.

Before I make a decision, can I get some factual differences between the
two?

Thanks a lot in advance.
