The e-assist Is an interesting option, but as a GM dealer tech, I'm not exactly impressed with the factory e-assist alternator/motor currently on the market. Seems a bit undersized to have much effect, but I'm no engineer.

As for engine options, yeah those three, plus some AMC inline sixes, and a 500 inch Cadillac big block are the ones currently taking up space in my garage.

I'd be open to other options if somebody has a REALLY good idea lol!

A guy at work is pushing me toward a small diesel, but with diesel fuel currently a dollar a gallon more than gasoline in my area, I feel as though I'd spend as much or more at the gas pump.

My existing 2.2 I-4 is a sequential port injection motor, if that matters to anyone. It really does fit well under the hood and is a breeze to service. That was the main reason I bought it back when gas was cheap.
