I think you'd be hard pressed to find a dealer that could tell you swapped the block.

If you did. Keep that dealer!

Could you look in the engine bay and tell it's a 3L? You can't even see anything but the intake. smile

This is THE sleeper mod.

Oh yeah. It's bone stock except for the air filter & exhaust... :rolleyes:

If I had the engine out. I sure would put a LSD, billet flywheel and clutch in there... ($1300+)
The 3L with it's much added bottom end is sure to be tougher on our already weak diff...

So that's still a grand cheaper then the SC... Still can't deny the HP advantage of the SC in your thinking though. I can however; I have a 00 frown
