I run the 2.5 in my Buggy and am very pleased with the performance of it. I will say I did replace a head gasket on on at 110,000 miles however that could be because I turbo charged the motor. During the dial in period the Blast gate blew a diafram and I looked down at 20PSI on the Boost gauge. Not good for a 10:1 Compression ratio lol.

2 seat stalker is 100 inch with stock suspesion. It is designed with the seating further forward. I have nice storage spots between the back of my seats and the torsion housing. I have a big battery and a winch mounted up front also to keep front down.You can see how the space between seat and torsion in this picture.

If you stay with the 3.3 then I would suggest you look into Babychain drive to put the wheels farther behind ya.
