Running out of engines
We have been swapping our 4EAT's for 5 speeds. What is the possability of swapping our 3.3's for the new 250 HP 3.0's?
I was lucky enough to find a low mileage engine when my head gaskets went for the second time. With over 90,000 on my second engine I know I won't be as lucky the next time. The new 3.0's have timing chains. No belt changes!!

Swapping in the new 3.0L H6 w/ 250hp can be done and it'll bolt right up to either the 4EAT or 5 speed trans. The biggest pain will be installing the electrical wiring/harness to run the new ECU!!!

-Chike P.S. You would be better off buying a used low mileage EG33 and before installing the engine, replace all engine gaskets/seals and vacuum lines and maybe do a few power upgrades (performance camshafts, extrude & polish intake manifold & headers, etc.)
