It is very frustrating to see questions that don't state the year the Isuzu trooper is! Without it, answering can be difficult and inaccurate! Around 1986, some of the Isuzus were equipped with the Chevy S10's base 2.6L engine, meaning GM's engines can mate to what came in those particular vehicles. The second generation troopers are a mystery (post 1992 or so) to me, since they were working more closely with Honda, so I don't know if the engines were japanese-sourced, although Borg Warner seemed to be making the transmissions. I don't know if you would want to try to squeeze the V8 into the bay, the transmission will likely not take the torque of even a stock unit, and you'll have issues with the cooling. The best bet is to source a decent 6 cylinder from a junkyard S10. I also don't know if you'll get by with the stock block mounting location if you go with the V8. Or, if you can, get the engine and trans as a unit (with an ECM if you are going with a later model) from the Acura rebadged trooper, or S10. Seems like you are in for a bit of fabrication if you are going to V8 that trooper! |

Hi, Pharm-do is correct except the engine is a 2.8 liter. For a damn good engine swap use a GM 4.3 liter V6 instead, everything is about the same and you get more ponies....... |

You may also want to check with advanced adaptors. They may be able to build you one if it not on the market. |
