I know it's not drop-in but there should be a boatload of Chrysler engines that match that tranny... all because of way back when they started putting both Chrysler and DSM v6s in the same Caravans on the same transmission. I think even Pentastars share the bolt pattern and zero miles pulls (from people doing big block conversions on Wranglers and Rams) are available relatively cheap, like under 2k with everything (manifolds, belt accessories, the whole pull) .

Yeah that's money I know <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Just mentioning a possibility. Even EGE 3.5's from old 90s Intrepids and stuff are pretty decent SOHC non-interference reliable engines that should bolt up without too big a battle.

Would be nice to make it. Just have to figure out the elusive reliable motor. One of our financial problems is out of the way, still a ways to go, but getting better.

Here we go, this is what you need

That might be enough HP. I am sure the AZ crew is up for it if I could afford it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

These guys have one, 1990.00 with free shipping, 3yr warranty

getting it?

Just ordered it. 67K miles and no stress of a bad rebuild...I just could not pass it up. Just what I have been looking for. Will let you guys know when it looks like it will arrive. But we were thinking maybe early December for a swap a thon?

Excellent! i was sleeping when you called earlier today lloyd i'll give you a call tomorrow man. Also in case i forget when that motor comes in pull the spark plugs and spray a little wd40 in the cylinders and let it sit that way till we get out there to swap it out.

Ok will do. So this engine is going to be shipped to the warehouse un-occupied from the old construction business that is killing us each month, might as well use it for something. Saves the 75.00 residential shipping penalty. We can do the swap inside, maybe get some propane heaters to take the edge off. Should be better then the carport.

You've had a shop this whole time!? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
