    4.2 is just a stroked 3.8. The 4.2 has the split port heads. You can't install the SC supercharger on it without installing the older style heads. The 4.2 makes pretty good power and torque and while a little unrefined when compared to more complicated OHC V6 engines, should be just about bullet proof.

    Believe me Jeremiah, if I had some more mechanical repair knowledge and ability (and $$), I'd be very tempted by that. Less money than I would have thought. Probably needs to be rebuilt.....

    No problem, I'm just here for moral support and to make slightly ridicules and expensive suggestions.
