I did a 2.5 conversion on my 4kqt using a eurovan shortblock. Alot of mods 
had to be made to the block to get it to work, but it did none the less work. 
Eurospec uses a kit in which you can use the regular I5 block, which I would 
prefer to do as the eurovan block needed alot of expensive machine work and a 
unky timming belt setup to make everything work. The stock eurovan rods are a bit 
on the wimpy side, I would recommen replacing those, but the pistons are top 
notch.
