Re: Engines for LUV/S-10's?
Oh, forgot one thing in my above post - if you go for an Impulse motor, get one out of a turbo model, even if you're not going turbo. The crank, rods and pistons are all forged stock in the turbo motor versus cast in a non-turbo motor. Just rip the intake and exhaust manifolds off your motor and bolt them right on to the turbo motor.
Just for gawd's sake put the intake on the motor BEFORE you install it!! Getting the underside nuts on the #2 & #3 cylinders on the intake while the engine's in place are the biggest PITA you'll ever come across!! The EGR is RIGHT in the way. You end up putting the wrench on open end, using two fingers (no thumb) to move it a little, then flipping the wrench over the other way, rinse and repeat until you finally discover you can't get enough torque to seal the intake gasket and end up pulling the motor back out anyways!!
