Victoreric,

I considered those options, but only very briefly. I don't have the mechanical ability to do the installation and modifications for those engines myself, and it would have cost me more coin then I had available. The 3.2 was the same cost as the 2.7 so for me, that was a no-brainer. If you can afford it, or can do the work yourself, then by all means, go for the largest you can make work. You are going to have a significant expense anyway that you go, so you might as well go ahead and get all the power that your pocketbook can handle.
