Yea i think the scoop looks great, but wasn't sure if they were functional for anything other than hood clearance.

Not a problem dude!

Hey Thanks a bunch!!

I would like to do this today if i had the money. I would like to hope the 3.0 will last at least another summer or two, though. But until then i will continue to do research!

Yup!

The infos out there for the taking

Your time will come

904_runner · 07-21-2008, 01:25 PM

Yup!

So you getting pumped for the power difference over the 3.0 and the 3.4?

(I was pretty stoked with my 3.0 last night, cruising next to a buddy in his pathfinder on the highway, i hear him downshift and he tries to pass me, so i downshift into 3rd at like 50mph and the rpms went to 4 grand ish (only for about 5-10 seconds) and i flew by him (uphill too!). Now i really don't drive with the rpms that high (hope i didn't wreck anything), it never sees past 3500 usually. So i can't wait till i get a 3.4 in mine, maybe supercharge it and not tell anyone!

Ive driven the 3.4 in my moms auto, and the left foot gets bored, but its still a sweet motor!

(65mph in a 3.0 with 33's and stock gearing going up hill on a highway was quite an accomplishment for that motor!

Ya im excited! The 3.4 had great power aspecialy with the headers intake and straight exhaust. Not to mention it was basicaly brand new anfter I rebuilt it so the power was amazing. I was told by many people it was the best sounding V6 they had ever heard. I must admit it did sound amazing.

I cant wait to see the difference with the 4.3. I think it should help me a bit more aspecialy with the lowend as this is a tourqey motor. Ill have to see once I get it in if I can tell any differences but I do expect to see some gains.

As for over the 3.0, hell a hampster in a ball was faster

No comparison gan be made because its not a motor

I know I know

Ill go even if I have to walk it

I got a line on the adapter to pick up tomorrow Night I hope, so will see if I can mock up the motor, Mounts and exhaust by the end of the week. Should be a close one but I think I might just make it

I might have to get some tube also and start the front bumper at least Im gonna need something cause right now there is no protection at all up front

Well I hope to mock up by the end of this weekend. I got the motor out of the truck tonight and pulled the valve covers. Im having them cleaned. I also need some new plugs wire and maybe a new cap and rotor. I hope to have the adapters tomorrow or Wednesday. ill get some pics up once I upload them onto the comp.

Should be a pretty fast build. I was looking over the motor a bit while up at my parents house and man is it a simple motor. I should have dropped on of these things in a long time ago

I cant wait to get her in and running and I hope to soon. There is a trip to Naches mid August I would love to take it too so my deadline is pretty short.

Ill be sure to keep you all informed on the build progress as it comes in and Ill be sure to get those pics I know you all love
