Terry is selling a 3.0 LS engine right? is it just the block or the entire assembly? I read someone claiming on the order of 280HP/260FT-LBs. That would be worth the money to upgrade (assuming the MTX-75 could handle that).
Is it a Duratec? If not, what tech to they call it? (Just curious).
Also, how much would a transplant run me? Are there performance internal replacements for a V6 LS? SC or TC avaliable? I would be willing to put a hole in my hood to fit one of those!
Have you put in your $0.02 to save contour.org?? Put in what you can spare to keep the site up. Check the General Forum.

The 3L V6 in the LS is 220HP @ 6400RPMs and 215ft-lbs @ 4800RPMs. I'm guessing the 280HP 3L you are referring to is the one David Z is selling.

I suspect the higher output numbers that RubberDuckySVT is referring to are from the 8-cyl LS engine - need that big Lincoln engine bay to get that in!

weak. i don't know if a couple of grand is worth just 20 or so hp and double that in FT-LBs. Seems like some decent tuning (Intake, headers, y-pipe, exhaust, chip/S-AFC, would make that up.
Does seem like there would be good performance if you tuned it, but what parts could you use? You can't very well put the MSDS headers on the LS 3.0 V6 can you? Then you would have to mate an exhaust with the same inner diameter... Seems like a lot of custom work... Too much money for me by far.
I would rather invest 6-10K in a passive AWD system with a carbon driveshaft. At least that way I could put that power on the ground (too much HP/tq in my FWD is futile IMHO).
