ecotec in a 3100?

[hotrod386]

with gas prices going up and down i`d thought i would look into an ecotec swap. from what i`ve found it can be done useing a custom built bellhousing and shoving a s10 t-5 behind it. i found on a british site that the s10`s weighed slightly over 4 thound pounds, and the 3100`s were in between 3500 and 3900 pounds. and i think almost every year s10 had a little 4 banger in them. take for example the 1998 s10 with the vortec 2200 4 banger has 120hp and 140lb-ft then you look at the all aluminum ecotec with has 145hp and 155lb-ft. i thought i`d wright this up to here what ya`ll think, and no i`m not into rice burners and i dont need to tow much just a john boat and like i said before with gas prices going up and down wouldn`t be nice to drive your truck anywere you want, not when you have gas to spare v8 guys. dont get me wrong v8`s are great just not on gas. this is my first time wrighting a fourm so be gently with me lol
