Title: Re: [FWDLK] Different BORING & Stroking
I agree, the 3.0 is a great Jap engine. A Mitsie, and bullet proof. I have a 90 Voyager with 255,000 Miles on it, it's the only new car I've ever bought. At 117K I O/H'ed the top end, as it was leaking oil in numerious places and it was overdue for a timeing belt. Other then that, the only things I've done to it was replace Plugs, and plug wires over the years. And the original cap, rotor and the Air Idle Controler all in the last week or so. We also have a 95 Voyager 3.0 with 150k on it which is our traveling car now. Ray Jones, Retired-professional mechanic!
Well, as a professional mechanic, and an owner of a '94 Dodge Caravan, I happen to like that 3.0 Liter V-6! It has good power, easy to maintain, and a better engine than those sick little 2.2 liter four cylinders in the immortal "K" car! I have worked on both, and that "Chrysler" 3.0 V-6 DOHC is a good engine! The Grand Caravan's have 3.3 liter pushrod engines, which are more closely related to "forwardlook" engines. Now, speaking of "gender bender" combos, how about my ' 81 Plymouth Horizon, that had the 1.7 Liter Volkswagen Rabbit engine, coupled with a "Chrysler" transmission (4-speed stick in my example). The first years (1977?) of the "Omni-Horizons" were not only powered by VW Rabbit engines, but also had the rabbit transmissions! They were powered by a "Mopar" (?) 1.6 liter engine as of '82 or '83. ---And tomorrow's history lesson will center around GM's use of "chevy" engines in Non-chevy cars! Which started happening in the mid-seventies---. Zach-
