I have a4.3L V6 1987 Chevy Caprice classic. I was wondering what size block

It's 262 CID. There's enough room in your engine bay to swap in just about anything, as long as you don't mind changing out front end parts due to increasing engine weight/location and hookups. The Chevy small block V6 however is a pretty popular motor, a lot of Jeep owners have been swapping to it. Check for how to's on any number of Chevy performance forums.
