These suckers have some pretty darned good power for their size, and the 4.2 straight six in my Trailblazer has a darned flat torque curve. Aluminum block and all, seems like it oughta be a pretty good candidate weight/power wise. I'm supposedly pushing 270 hp and nearly 300lbs of torque.
Also, from what I understand, a group of five engines were run hard for the equivalent of 300,000 miles, which would translate to quite a few hours in the air. They still ran fine at that point, when the test was ended. Obviously lab conditions can't accurately mimic real life, but it still seems like an interesting possibility.
The other engines in the same family have either 4 or 5 cylinders, and are used in the Canyon/Colorado trucks.
