Why not just build up the 3L. Its plenty capable of 200HP. there are sooooo many just sitting in junkyards they are verry available. Some good pistons, rods and everyone lover a good head job.
I dated a girl with a 98 blazer and she put two tranys and an engine in the thing.
I just dont get the swoping to a chevy. lety them burn.
You baught a dodge/mitsu and thats the way it should be. Species cant breed with other species. Thats how the car gods intended it. You will all rot in hell for your sins against nature.
right... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I ain't Baught Nothin!!!! My truck was given to me man. Want to know why.. it had a POS 2.6 in it that had spun bearings, had carb trouble, thrown balance shafts, and the list goes on.
First off... Not everyone here has a truck with a 3.0 in it. AND even if it Might be plenty capable of 200HP... it still has crappy gearing in the transfer case, is hard to work on, is expensive to work on.
When my 4.3 dicides to spit out a water pump it costs 12.99 at any autoparts store on earth.
I know and understand in great detail the workings of this motor, and drivetrain in general.
The wires are solid colors with stripes. Reds are all +'s and blacks are all -'s.... No stupid speckles. No black wires being hot leads.
No mystery boxes scattered around the engine compartment,
No Miles of vacuum lines to dryrot, and fail
What I have is a totally stock, Cheap to fix, run upside down, powerful motor that gives me absolutly 0 problems, and always runs good.
And I can garuntee you that I did this swap for less $ than you can have a 3.0 rebuilt for. INCLUDING the cost of the motor, trans, transfer case.
I can do pretty much whatever I want to with my cars and trucks, and as far as I am concerned, the automotive god have smiled upon me for being capable of building a truck that suits my needs on a budget with otherwise disused car organs.
...Speaking of sins against nature..... hahah nevermind.
