I just replaced the head gasket on my second 3.0. It runs great now, but that is not a very strong (or powerful) engine I would look into the 3.4. I went with a better and more expensive head gasket then the stock one so I expect good things from that. Like I said I haven't had it that well, but it runs awesome right now
