ok i said it would be about $2000 with someone doing the swap. like i said motor $800, you just said Re and Re $1000, and there are little extras that you will need... so how is my price of $2000 off????

I ended up just going with a 2000 v6 motor, I bought it with a transmission, low kms (50,000).

Figured it would be a better option then rebuilding my 3.8 and doing a split port swap on it. The motor is also going to PSP for some extra goodies! :D

i was supposed to get it last weekend but that didnt work out so next weekend on the 28th. im getting the m90, alunminum jackshaft pulley, new CAI, 10% blower pulley, xcal2 tune with 91 and 94 octane tune done by justin at vmp tuning, and a new 255lph walbro fuel pump. and i got my duel exhaust in now and the 3.5" polished tips look awesome, sounds pretty good to but not loud enough so im gonna get some LT's and 2 high flow cats.

Give some serious thought to leaving the blower pulley at the stock size. That 10% "may" blow your head gaskets.

ya well the guy im getting it from has everything im getting except he has stock exhuast on his 3.8 and he said that if he went to the track every weekend it might happen but with the 2.5" dual exhaust setup i have ill be fine cuz theres more flow
