Nice. If I live long enough I hope my next swap would be a crate electric motor swap :-D Something simple with 250-300 hp. ------------------

Not sure what the cost would be, and it has the SBC bellhousing, but thought it was interesting.
I saw that motor recently and thought it would be interesting as well.....

I saw that the other day and was very intrigued by it. I wouldn't mind using that in a future build. Either my FJ40 or 88 CJB.

Looking at the block, the casting is similar but not the same as the Vortec 3000 I4 motor, similar cam layout and bellhousing, The standard version of this motor i believe is using a ford head instead of the Chevy head.
There are no transverse style water pump connection like the duke, but maybe something could be made to adapt to the freeze plug. Oil pan and pump looks similar, though the distributer is driven in a different location.
No balance shaft, and 3.6L would be a vibration disaster. I imagine this has somewhere around a 4" stroke and 4 1/8" bore.

Very interesting! The MT article says almost 500 ft-lb of torque ... how does this stay together with a 2-bolt main??

Agree, the old Pontiac 194 (3.18L) 4 cyl was 1/2 a 389 (3.75 stroke x 4.063 bore) vibrations were pretty rough; 'course, that engine is 60 years old.

I thought I remember reading somewhere those 300hp/500tq numbers were with a turbo. If so that's not that impressive.
