You could buy an S-10 and replace the 4.3 with an LS1 V8 or something. Has more aftermarket support than the 4.3 does (not that the 4.3 doesn't have good support). Or maybe an S-10 Xtreme? Chevy engines are built pretty well and have lots of torque out of the box. Won't take a whole lot to "wake it up" some.

Also, how heavy will your tow load be?

Well I fell in love with a different truck. 2007+ Chevy Colorado.
