Townhome QTR MLE Join Date: May 2015 Location: Vancouver BC Canada Posts: 9	Rather than a tear down and repair to the 3.2 my next thoughts are a 3.6 or 3.8 conversion. I've done a couple of conversions in the past and have a well eqipped shop with a hoist. I considered an LS swap but looks like WAY too much work and Renegade offers limited instructions if any at all. If my 3.2 is toast, which is the easiest and most beneficial upgrade?
