Roofy I dont know about Motor & Drivetrain however if you want to Crawl around the High Country I found the 3.0L to lack Power down low until the Turbo kicks in. Sometimes you just want to crawl and this Motor in my opinion does not cut it.
You would notice the difference to the 4.5l you have at present

Me personally would not touch it with a barge pole after all the things that I have read and heard about that year of manufacture, could go forever but could go BOOM tomorrow.
