1995 3.0l V6 Manual engine swap

Hello, I recently found out that my 3vze has water leaks from the cylinder head and hot water control valve, I知 going to have to drive it until I can afford to swap the engine but I知 wondering what engines would be the easiest to have swapped. Easiest meaning the least cutting in the engine bay and preferably compatible with the stock 5-speed manual transmission. I believe the trans is the r150f. I was thinking an LS of some sort and if I知 going to do a swap I don稚 want to make the same trash power I made before so something with more power and mod capability is preferred.

Easy depends on your skill level. Saying Easy, then saying LS is contradicting. Haha.

I agree with dropzone. The 3.4 (5vzfe) will definitely be the most straight forward swap.

No I didn稚, I couldn稚 afford it and didn稚 have anywhere to work on it. But I ended up with the exact same one exact a 94 instead of 95, and am doing the head gaskets and almost a whole restoration.

I did the swap about a year ago. Did it cheap, swapping in the whole donor harness. Came out great and the power is awesome.

I was a diehard 3.0 fan, now a 3.4 fanboi



I dont update here much anymore, but details over on irate...
