I'm thinking ahead just a bit, as my 2.7 still runs nicely. But when the day comes when it's time to retire the tired old friend, I'm thinking that it's time to really consider an upgrade to a 3.4 or 3.6. RUF will do a 3.6 conversion, but they want to sell me the entire RUF upgrade which is nearly $30K (I don't really like their wheels or body kit).

Other things to consider, what else would need to be upgraded? Brakes? Suspension? Also, who are the reputable shops that will do the conversion?

Those that have done this, please chime in.

Thanks,

Jeff
