Default 60 degree Mopar V6 for homebuilt?



Have you heard any recommendations for or against the Chrysler 3.2L and
3.5L, the GM 3.4L,


Well, you most definitely do NOT want the 3.4 timebomb.

or the similar Ford engines. There is also a Chrysler
3.7L engine in the Jeep Liberty, which should have enough service history

to
make an evaluation.


The 3.7 is likely a future candidate. So far it's got a decent
reputation.


Thanks, I'll keep watching as I get closer to actually undertaking the
project.

Peter, check the Allpar site in the engines section to get straight
what the various Chrysler families are. The 3.3 pushrod begat a 3.5
and a 3.8. (These are Trenton, MI built)

The 2.7 begat a 3.2. There's also a V6 derived from a 318 cid V-8
(3.7?). And then there's the new stuff!

I've been out of touch for so long now I can't keep them straight.
