Sorry, I should have been clearer. The hypothetical is my 95 which is the 3.0 24V SOHC. I think the 24V 3.0 is far more similar to the 3.5s than it is to the 12V 3.0s.

It you took off that intake plastic cover of our 98 where it says 3.5 24V, you'd almost have to look real close and know a little to tell they were different.

I've always wondered what else is different from my motor versus the 3.0 24V DOHC that the Diamante and 3000 got. (I'm assuming they were the same to each other.)
