Wow - great feedback guys- thank you.

The 3.0L is from a US SC - so it has the slightly higher CR. The injection is the CIS setup - yes, it is not the mechanical setup, like the early cars "S and E". I have never thought much of CIS/K because it does have limited "hot rod" capability.

Option 1 and 2 appeal to me because I will know exactly what is in the motor. I will build it fresh.

Option 3 on paper looks great - but like you said - the early 3.6 have issues and most of the 3.6 are started to get quite a few miles on them. I probably need to take it apart anyway - so I just spent a bunch on money on an engine that I will pull apart anyway? Doesn't make too much sense.

#4 is a pipe dream. I am wrapping up a ground up BMW S52 Turbo motor and holy smokes that was a TON of work. Everything has to be fabbed and I am not sure I want to go through that again.

Couple of questions:

1 - Can a 3.2 or 3.6 crank be run in a 3.0L case?
2 - What sort of HP can I expect from a 3.4L with cams, intake, electronic engine management - is 280 out of the question?
3 - Is there any advantage to the 84 - 88 intake manifold? I have heard it does not flow that well.
4 - Is the later 964/992 intake manifold better? Can it be used on a 3.0?

Again - thanks for the feedback.
