Bart,

Saw this on PP... no affiliation.
That sucks about your son's car.
Best of luck.

Thanks BoxsterSteve! I have emailed the guy and will do some investigation. It seems that the engine should be compatible with my vehicle.

Good luck boys on getting it on the road! Want to see both of you on our spring Muskoka Run next year.

a 3.2 will fit, but you will need to reflash the ECU and change the exhaust. I have a 2.7 from a tip complete with 70k for sale $2800 here in Denver if you don't want to go that route.

Leak down numbers are great 4% on cyl 1 2% or less on all others.
Shipping will be around $300 to a residence, less to a shop.

As long as the 3.2L is 2003-2004 you don't have to re-flash the ECU
