If the 3.4 engine was installed in 2000, then the donor would have been one of the first which (according to quite a few experts on both sides of the Atlantic) are probably the weakest, with D chunks and porous blocks as well as the IMS / RMS saga's high on the hit list.
Performance - especially with the extra gobs of torque - is very addictive, but sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don't. Especially if the 3.4 engine fails, you would be kicking yourself for ever.......
Plus you will see every wear spot, ding, scratch and blemish on the older car every time you sat in the worn interior or washed and polished the exterior !
