Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0
dude <br /> there are all kinds of ways to grab a bit more from that engine.matche the intake and head ports. you can port and polish the heads. use higher compression pistons. the motor is a motor. it will respond to all the normal go fast methods.call isks or crane cams for a custom grind. the old 120 OMC manifold with 2 carter 1bbl carbs routed through transom exhaust was a decent flowing mainfold.<br /> now I will advise you.<br /> SPEED COSTS MONEY, how fast ya wanna go?<br />I built engine/drivetrain components for NHRA and IHRA events for years. motors is motors, they suck squeeze bang and blow. when your all done hopping up your 4 banger then ya gotta start regearing the drive. that 4 banger wont hold up to much more than about 4800 RPM's for any length of time. my 455 olds will shift 1-2 2-3 3-4 at 7200 RPM I just would not care to cruise at that speed.<br /> good luck but buy a V8

An MPI 4.3V6 will put you at 220HP, still provide good MPG, and save you a few bucks over a V8. With any engine swap you'll have to change the upper gear ratio in the drive. <br /><br />Good Luck!!!!
