why not go bigger? got the 4.8 pretty cheap. Bought a set of long tubes in exchange for the motor. Pretty good deal, all accessories excluding a/c. Needs to be rebuilt due to low oil pressure and metal shavings in the oil.
Plan is to get it rebuilt, install a TSP stage 3 low lift truck cam, speed engineering 1 3/4" longtubes, cheap ebay CAI that i'll throw a better filter on, and a full 3" inch exhaust. Not sure what setup i want to go with yet. I want to run it catless and install a Venom300 but those things are pretty pricey. Will be good for a daily driver/tire destroyer.
Also have a '97 S10 equipped with a 2.2l. Plan on doing the big 6.0 swap to that little fella. Timing chain popped on that guy a couple years ago and i just haven't gotten around to changing it.
