A: If I found one, it would get a 2.45L AMC motor transplant in a heartbeat! In fact, I have a '95 YJ motor with the fuel injection and computer ready to put in, but I'm moving so I won't have time to do anything with it. Motor needs an oilpan (it was pulled for a V8 swap and the chain they used let loose and dented the pan) but $250 takes it!

While the carbureted version of this wasn't necessarily a barn-burner, these are dependable engines and provide excellent fuel economy. And, if you want to spice it up a bit, you can practically bolt-on an EFI system from any comparable GM product with a 2.5 (such as an S10 or a Firebird or a Camaro or many multitudes of FWD products). Just make sure if you do this that you get an EFI from a GM car that still has a distributor on the engine (~1988 or earlier models). Later models didn't have a distributor and are a completely different setup. Besides that, there are quite a few performance pieces that you can get to spice it up even more. The GM 2.5 was used as a hi-po engine in a race series (I forget which). I would conservatively estimate that a 2.5 EFI Spirit with a 5-speed would knock down high-20s/low-30s fuel mileage.
