Now this is a great idea. Enjoy the motor that's in your car while planning for a future 3.6-L swap with a rebuilt 3.6-L.

Basically I paid $7k for an engine that needs to be rebuilt, and I am in exactly the same spot I was with the 3.0l motor. If I were you I would continue driving the car and purchase a rebuildable 3.6l and rebuild that motor and while rebuilding it work on the conversion stuff as well. Then when ready to swap sell the 3.2l. Probably worth more than 2500 as a core alone. I found shipping via DHL the cheapest.
