Saw an H a few years back with a GM 2.8 V6 in it that looked pretty nice. Of course, my first thought was that a 2.8 was pretty "gutless"...but when I read that the builder had put an S-10 4-speed manual transmission, locked into 2nd gear, in the torque tube, it made perfect sense.
The engine turned a bit more than twice as many RPM's as the original H engine. Second gear in the old S-10 4-speed tranny is approximately a 2:1 gear reduction. SO...the S-10 tranny serves to reduce ground speed to about what it would've been with the original H engine, PLUS it's used for torque multiplication, so that the 2.8 isn't nearly so gutless as it would have been.
So it's a win-win all around.
BUT I'm convinced that if you're gonna do a V-8, you should step up to an M.
