old 3.0=12 valve, overhead valve, push rods, chrysler
the 3.3/3.8 were pushrods
those 3.0 have a single over head cam and timing belt
I know mine will need to be done on the caravan soon
for the last time
3.0 sohc 12 valves: engine built by chrysler based on a mitsubishi design from the mid 80's and using a mix of american and japanese parts and dropped into econobox
3.0 sohc 24 valves: engine built by mitsubishi in japan designed in the mid 90 and made for performance
the blocs have 10 years of evolution between them, the pistons and rods in the chrysler are pure crap, the cranks are not the same , the oil filter could be a serious issue and several more stupid little details need to be considered
I know building an engine is fun .... i did my own design over a 5 years span .. but when you coud buy a complete mitsubishi 24 valves 3.0L for around $600-800 low mileage and good running condition I don't get why you still insist on the playing with old the chrysler made sohc block
like I said anway, I don't know what I'm talking about , so spend your money like you want
the whole "they are both 6g72" reminds me that the torqueflite 727 and the A604 are both called Ultradrive
the first one can launch a 500 hp 4500 lb muscle car and bring it in low 13 on the 1/4
the second one can launch its casing in pieces with a 140 hp engine ....
