Well after having the 3.0 for almost 3yrs the thing is on its way out. but I will let everyone know it was worth it all, I had so much fun with that engine. Made a trip to florida and was getting somewhere around 30MPG at speeds no slower then 80. I realize that there arent to many engines that want to handle the thrashing I put to them, this one has handled it better then any other one. I am not sure of the problem yet, but I know it is going to be cheaper to replace then it is to fix. although this came at the worse time considering I am jobless right now. my next engine will be full 3.0, I just need some research on it. I forgot what year you can do a easy swap was it 99? also if anyone has a connection for one of thoughs engines please let me know. when I get the new engine I will be parting out everything off the old engine.
