The benz I5 turbo version is the way to go. Plenty of power and they will outlast that S-10 a few times over. BTW, I am talking of the old (85-earlier) OM-617. It is cast iron, top to bottom and will go a million miles if maintained at all. The newer benzes are partly aluminum and don't have anything close to the same reliability/longevity.
