I was originally thinking along those same lines but maybe with an SRT-4 Neon engine... But, have you seen what GM Ecotec fours can do with a stock bottom end and big boost and charge coolers? I feel like it's a pretty safe bet the aftermarket support for electronics would be a lot less expensive as well. Unfortunately, sometimes the best probable option is the least popular. I personally miss the MP support for the 3.9 V-6. Certainly not a huge potential engine unless you want to build a bomb but good potential in a light vehicle.

If you were going to do that you can get a complete pullout from a Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky - They had either a 2.4L Ecotec with 174 hp (5-speed auto or Manual) or a 2.0 Ecotec Direct Injection Turbo with 260 hp and the same transmission options. Honestly should be relatively easy to put in a pickup truck of any kind, they mount the ECUs under the hood and everything.
