Pretty sure the only thing that bolts up is a Mitsu. There are past discussion on mix-n-match possibilities based on shaft diameters and spline counts. No idea where your 3.9 would fit in that matrix.

Just did a quick Google on it for specs. You could get a Mitsu 3.5 DOHC and get comparable, if not better performance. Nearly comparable with a 3.5 SOHC. I'm talking smack here, but I would think the cost of the time and effort to make what you have work would be equal to, if not greater than, the cost of finding a 3.5 and swapping it in.

Anything that uses AW trans with removable bellhousing that matches. For example you could swap a jeep 4.0 if you could make that long engine fit in the engine bay or find something else that uses similar tansmissions like toyota or isuzu/gm trucks. Go to a junk yard that has transmissions inventoried, look for aisin transmissions and compare bellhousings.

Well sure, if you're talking ATs, then have at it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I forget not everyone is a handshaker! If I didn't have the 2.85s, maybe I'd become a convert myself...

Didn't FrankR post some thoughts a while back on the GM 3800 looking like it could mate up.?

The 3.5l DOHC from 94-96 makes 215 hp in stock form.

The 3.8l is from the Gen 3.
