Well I returned from a 3000 plus mile trip in the RRC and have found the rear main to be leaking. So from my searches I find that I will have to pull the motor to repair this so first I'm going to check compression etc before I yank it. If it looks like she is in need of a rebuild that begs the question of do I:
a. rebuild the current 3.9
b replace with a 4.0
c. replace with a 4.6
d. go small block chevy
e. go diesel (any thoughts on which diesel and any write ups on the swap would be helpful as well)
Good write ups on any of the above would be great as well. So I can gauge the degree of difficulty of the swap.
I guess I'm looking for thoughts and recommendations from you guys so lets hear what you all think.
