I went and picked two 3.6 motors and 4 radiators up for $175. Both motors had something majorly go wrong with them. I'll share some pics tomorrow. I might be able to save some parts off them. The big bonus was the FVD Motorsport Oil Pan on the bottom of one. Score! I also found a quick way to tell the difference between the 3.4 and the 3.6. The 3.4 has one variocam adjuster and the 3.6 has two on the side of the head.
