would a person like me with a 2000 2.7 be better off doing a big bore 2.9 or going to the 3.4L? i was under the impression on a 2000 base the logical swap motor is a 3.4L.

i wonder if the "race" built 2.9 would work better -

then of course - I live in wonderful California with all our smog laws... and I wonder if ANY of these motor swaps would be "legal" in CA or would I spend a pile of money only to learn that I have now voided the smog on my car and no longer be able to register it to drive on the roads???

would a 2.9L rebuilt by RABY have siilar smog characteristics to the stock 2.7? if I swap in a 3.4L what happens then , do I smog as if I'm a 911?

smog issues aside -w hat about be a better performer on my 5 speed - the 3.4 or hte 2.9 and what could cost LESS???
