Sorry to hear about the problems Adam. Good luck with that.

There's a local shop here who advertises 3.6 engine "conversions" including swapping out the crank, new conrods & pistons, etc. Power output is bumped to a purpoted 360bhp.

I wonder if that saves all that much versus swapping in a 3.6 complete engine?

Although, I've read the newer crankcases have an additional crankshaft bearing to help deal with IMS and RMS issues(reducing crankshaft pertubations). So if true, I'd want to go with that.
