Having a look on eBay, theres a few isuzu impulses listed up on there. The motors from which are a basic bolt in fit.

G200 2L efi for $100

Heres a full on 2.6L turbo pig in Ohio for $900. Youd make a bit wrecking this one.

The std 2L turbo had 110kw and with the over drive box would go as good and get better economy than a V8. Not that i hate V8's mind you :wink:

Im just always chasing up Impulse/Piazza parts, if anyone gets any give me a yell.

Go to Schram auto parts. They have an ebay store. They are close to Detroit and have been dealing with G.M. for something like 28 years. You can get brand new Ecoteks with 10 miles for fifteen hundred dollars. You can also get V6's and V8's all built just like the LS1. I saw a 3.8 with 1700 miles for $749.00. You are going to spend a lot more than that building your 350, and these computer engines will honestly go three to four hundred thousand miles before you need an overhaul. Plus they haul ass and start every time. Having a mid thirteen second maintenance free street truck ain't bad. They also ship worldwide.

Yeah, at $800 it might be cheap go but;

A whole car for $500 and with the tail shaft from the right luv/pup it all bolts straight in. Allow $50 for a factory workshop manual off eBay for the wiring.

Might not be quite as much power, but its a good few Kilos/Pounds lighter.

Not starting an arguemet or anything. :wink: lol.





Nah not reasearch, ive got 5 Piazza's (impulse). 110 Kilowatts is a bit less than HP. I think your turbo impulse was 120 or 125 hp and that was less than the one we got. Your car had different engine managment.
