The horsepower doesn't mean much, especially in an off-road engine where the horsepower is derated for heavy use. Main thing is cubic inches and torque.
Chevy sold many S10s with Isuzu 2.2 diesels. 3.4" bore by 3.6" stroke. I still have one. Also have an Isuzu 4WD PUP truck with the same 2.2 and two Chevy Chevettes with 1.8 diesels.
The S10 with the 2.2 diesel is very underpowered. Engine is 139 cubic inches, 62 horse at 4200 RPM and makes 96 pound feet of torque at 2200 RPM. Keep in mind that the Isuzu diesels are converter gas engines and are lightweight. That Continental might make less power and weigh a lot more.
I don't know what engine you have - but take a Continental ZD144. It's rated at 39 horsepower at 2000 RPM. 3 7/16" bore by 3 7/8" stroke. If put into an S10, it would probably run about the same as the factory job with the 2.2 Isuzu.

I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
