Mark, you're just itching to do a 4 cyl. Chevy II aren't you?

Cannot tell a lie...
As soon as someone donates a 62-3 100 2 dr. or sells me one at scrap value.
I might even paint the engine Chevy orange :-)

Is the S-10 134 a feasible project, just curious.

Someone went fast enough with one to get some HP so I would guess that it's feasible.

Bear in mind that the modern EFI , roller cam engines seem a little high on their hp ratings, compared to early model, 4 and 6 cylinders combos. Don't let that discourage you. They are designed for maximum torque, using a limited amount of displacement for, mpg and emissions reasons.

Any drawbacks to running a stick?

There wouldn't be any for me.
Use a 2wd V6 8.5 rear. I'd go with a spool and axles, but I've been known to break stuff that's not known to break with a 4 cylinder.
You could use a slick shifted T5 with 5th removed. Aftermarket shifter, and a good brand diaphragm clutch.
Of course, some would be tempted to want to use a Jerico and a high zoot multiple disc small clutch, and a steel bell, but that would kinda defeat the dime rocket course of action, the way I see it.

Mark, I appreciate the info. Do you know any engine shops familiar with the 4 cyl.? The tech. specs. show it with a throttle body, what needs to be done with the electronics? Thanks again.
