    I already posted what I get, but here it is again. I have a 4x4, etc. It gets 18-21 mpg on the interstate...going 80 mph, depends on the winds.

    Thats exactly what my 1992 4x4 Explorer gets

                          So you could with a vortech 4.3. lol While it might be possible you'd never want to find out what would break if you did.

                              I would'nt even think about it if i'm towing 4000 lbs or more its gotta be full-size with a V8 or a diesel. The S10 is a capable rig no doubt if you pulling a 2000 pound honda, but the 4.3 make little or no torque under 2000 revs if you're towing thats where you need it, plus there are tounge weight considerations, transmission cooling issues. I just would not do it unless i wanted to know where the weak links are. If you're gonna do it get the trans filter changed, flush the whole thing not just the pan, and get a good cooler.
