The 3.8 offers no real advantage over the 3.3 and sucks gas. -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951 |

Is this from personal experience? I currently have a '92 3.0/3spd with
220K and neither engine or trans has ever been touched(Borrowed time, I know). I have never had allot of faith in em buy this thing has impressed me. What about the '94-'95 3.0? Had there been improvements by then?

Wow...maybe my 92 (3.0/3 like yours) has more borrowed time than I
thought...only 177k on it. :-) I remember doing some reading and studying online once upon a time, and from what I gather there were changes made to the 3.0 over the years. One of which was a change of something in the valve guides, I think 1991 or so, that fixed the smoking problem they had. I seem to recall one or 2 other things, but can't recall them at the moment.

I've got a 3.0 in my 92...I don't think I'd change anything. Except the
power of the 3.8 would be tempting. :-) The other big thing I like with mine is the 3.0 is paired up with the 3-speed rather than the 4-speed overdrive tranny. From what I gather, that's a better transmission. I bought mine at 84k, and now have 177k on it and have never had the tranny worked on. Had to put a head gasket on the engine at around 162k, but I'm guessing that's probably just par for the course no matter what engine...
