sorry but i would have to go with the 4.3 v6 their would be cheaper to build and their more parts out their and they are strong. had one in an ex-cab s10 if it would have been a short box i would have build it up more.

Maybe an older RCSB Colorado with one of the Atlas engines in it.

Those atlas motors are almost indestructable....


I've often wondered about if a Cobalt SS blower would fit on my motor... I know its not the best supercharger but I can get it for a single hundo bill....

I doubt they would interchange but if it did it'd be nice to hear a little Eaton whine under the hood

Sure would be nice if someone came out with a kit for the 2.8-2.9 liter Atlas motors that included an Eaton TVS R1320 blower, and intake manifold with integrated air to water intercooler. Then all you'd need are a set of injectors, a fuel pump, a tune, and a set of headers w/ full exhaust. If there was a kit like this I'd buy a 2wd Colorado for a DD!!!
