Parts Porn!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
What it takes to make a 3.6 into a 4.0. 105mm JE Pistons, 105mm LN Engineering Nickies, and R&R Pro Billet Rods.  Not shown are the piston pins, the rings, and the pin retaining snap rings. ARP Head Stud Kit.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Now all I need is the new oil pump, the case to come back from the machine shop, and the crank to come back from the repair facility. Then I can start assembling the bottom end. |

Thats gonna be 60% more displacement and probably close to 100% more power than you presently have. I'll gladly take you up on an offer to drive your car at the next ramble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(r_towle @ Dec 20 2008, 10:22 PM) Start shopping Andy....you might have to do it. Hell no! The main reason why i went with the 3.6L in the first place was so i did NOT have to open up the damn motor to get some reliable power. Once you start fiddling with the internals, you jumped on the slippery slope, nose first ... If my motor wasn't bone stock and never opened up, i wouldn't have bought it. If i wanted to build an engine, i'd build a 3.0L T4 ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Andy |
