Ok, I understand there would be a little modifications, but would anyone know on the differnce between the 3.2L to the 3.6L,rather then the obvious. how hard would it be to do a Swap from a 3.2 to a 3.6. i know Ecu, and motor,but as far as the wiring harness. Is there any extra sensors , or differnce in fuel dumpage Etc. any info can help,because im thinking of doing a Swap. Thanks |

sesnor locations? so long as the main sensors link in the rest can be modified but anyway you can get into details,if not its ok. the motor mounts are located where on the 3.6 ? ,and Accessories? anything in particular. i have a universal exhaust so that wouldnt matter.
I understand you guys might of disscussed this awhile back but i like challenges,even if it is a xx,xxx of dollars i just love to play with cars. So even though everyone decided to give up i will tr to persue this, thanks |

Just my thoughts but For what it would cost I really dont know if it would be worth it. A hp/$ ROI analysis might demonstrate that another route would be better for you. |

If you had a complete wreck with the donor engine and the patient side by side it would be duck soup. |

If you really wanna try something fun and worthwhile, then put a V engine in your 3.2L That would be worth it and a fun project that would yield results and praise.......Theres a thread going already cuz one is selling on ebay...... |
