Agreed. Show me how to throw an Ecotec in mine. If I keep it 4X4 even the 2.2 would be a huge upgrade.

sure there is. simplest would be an AR5 from a colorado 4x4 and use a solstice bellhousing. there is also an aftermarket bellhousing for ecotec to t5. if you want to go automatic the easiest solution is to use an adapter plate. the ecotec to small v6 adapter (think 4t65e) would allow you use use a 700r4, 4l60e or a chrysler 904. using an adapter to large gm would open up just about any gm rwd/4wd transmission.
