Hi guys, I've got a 97 MS 4x4, 3.0 SOHC, automatic.

right now its got removed sway bars, no droop stops, added leaf in the rear, cranked torsion bars, welded rear diff and some 32in mud rovers.

I pulled the 3.0 DOHC engine from my 3000GT SL (naturally aspirated) and intend to use the short block in my suv. The compression ratio is much higher so im looking to gain a few ft lbs of torque out of this pig. smile over the summer i'll be working on a pair of dana 44's and front 3 link set up. I'll post a couple pictures in a little bit, right now i've got some searching to do on these forums.

If i wanted to post a set of good low milage DOHC 3.0 heads i have up for sale, would i post it in here or do i have to go to the general parts section?

Welcome! Saw your adventure on Pirate... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We're not like that here... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Make a for sale post in the proper section and link to it in a post here.

Your project sounds really cool. You'll need to make a build up thread and post lots of pictures so we can be inspired by your work!

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
