you do realize this thread is over 5 years old?

And if you're talking about mounting up the parts for an AWD conversion, then no, it won't bolt up. You need to do a considerable amount of cutting and welding.

Orstay NA and get a 3.8l diamante block, 3.5" gm maft, fuel mods and ignition, Custom "sized" exhuast, and thinner head gasket for higher CR. I'm guessing that all that will give *atleast* 300hp crank if the CR is above 10.8:1 Plus you'll have the response of a NA engine. Can't beat that. </P>


If you got money to waste, do the mid-engine swap. Might be a different class, but who knows, it might be better to have a supercharged mid-engined v6, or 300hp NA mid-engine v6.</P>

3.8L Diamante engine..? I thought Diamante's were 3.5L? and if i am mistaken where can i get my hands on a 3.8L for my 3s.

you need a 3.5L Debonaire block and a 3.8L crank from a newer mitsu eclipse/galant/endeavor, etc.
