This time around, I'm doing the IMS retrofit and 2qt baffled deep sump kit before the new motor even goes into the car. I'm hoping I can extract a year or two (maybe 20-40 track days) from the motor, but we'll see. I'm also planning on doing a tear down of the old motor if I can to see what exactly happened and make sure I'm taking any reasonable precaution on the new one.

3.2? That's dirt cheap. Most 3.2 with relatively low mileage around here are $6k+. I'm looking for a 3.6 and they're ridiculous.
