Ok time for an update, sorry ive been out enjoying the car with the 3.4 recently

Well so far lets see what this swap has cost me...
About $120 in gaskets
$595 for an ln engineering ims bearing

and thats it. This swap was done without altering anything in the car, no switching pins in the ecu connector, no chopping, everything looks stock. the check engine light did come on, but because of an O2 sensor.

I used the stock 2.7 manifold, 2.7 exhaust, and 2.7 ecu. The car runs excellent.
Lots of Torque in every single gear. The power does seem to fall off after 5500rpm, mostly because of all the restrictions. But it still does pull to 7200

Im very happy with the power for now, and theres no reason I need more at the moment. Winter is here, and the car is already on snow tires.

So here are the plans. Im going to go with a X51 intake manifold, full exhaust, and a good tune as soon as the snow clears. Pics soon to come
