I have seen a few 2.8 and 3.1 swaps on a budget, however the engines were lackluster in the s-10's. the 60 degree engines shake like a dog passing a peach pit, and the 3.4 shakes a bit more than the 2.8 due to the larger firing pulses. the later 4.3's (90 degree) have balance shafts which helps. I like the idea of the ATLAS engines for a swap. If one were to go thru the effort of swapping from an inline, I would go either V8 or diesel, just not an SBC unless it was an aluminum block (to be different)

The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me
