My limited N/A manual V6 needs more power!

I might be listing my uncles rear ended Srt-6 for parts to save up for this Ultimate build!!

PS

It got creamed by a Cadillac SUV... Engine looks ok .. I think... but Its no V8. I was thinking about keeping the engine, seats, etc... but the car starting to rust! On a good day I will see what all is worth keeping! Does any one want to trade a rusted SRT-6 for a low mile V8 (No glass, water damage, walked away with a little limp)
I sent you a message V8 guy!
I didn't receive a message. Finding a low mileage V8 takes some patience. I got pretty lucky. I got a great buy on an engine from a 2002 CL500 that was totaled in the rear almost as soon as it rolled off the show room floor. It was then tied up in some sort of litigation for a few years before any parts where allowed to be sold. It is a good idea to be careful of engines from a front end total. It is also a good idea to get the Vin number from the donor car and do a Carfax so you have a better idea of its history.
