Here's a cam http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/COM564508.htm but you will need a chip. I'd replace the valve springs also.

Actually, I wouldn't.

If I had a bad 4.3, one that needed more than simple, easy, inexpensive work, I'd toss it for a 5.7 V8, or just swap in another cheap 4.3. I bet you'd be even or ahead on cash.

I'm with rlsllc, pull the motor, run a chain though one of the bores and call it a boat anchor. A v8 is your answer.
