4JG2-T 3.1L or a 4JB1-T 2.8L JDM engine would do nice.
easy install being a RWD 4X2
use the GM diff and gear it as needed.
though it mite take a small body lift for the hood to close LOL
the 4BT cummens is about 750LBs plus trans also commenly red lined at 2,800rpms.
these two isuzu engines are red lined at 4,200 rpms...
all the 2.8s are computer free, early 3.1s with manual trans are computer free also.
about the same power as a stock N\A 6.2L 130hp
the 3.1L is about 130hp the 2.8L is about 105hp
and 550LBs for the engine 125lbs for the trans...
no rocket ship, but it would be cool
