bear in mind too that the 2.9 VR is a Europe/RoW engine and was never used in the USA/North American markets so finding one will be a bit of a nigthmare for you......especially as at the end of the day you are only really speaking about a less than 20-ish BHP increase......fair enough if you engine was goosed then its maybe an idea to think about.....but if your engne is perfectly ok and servicable i would think about trying to tune that rather than go to the extreme of doing an engine swap

shrick manifold (thanks to vr6storm), cams, chipped. You'll have to do alot to spend 3k. Emm... supercharger would help get rid of all that dosh. Think its about 2 grand these days for doing that.

 

hope that helps.

Why dont you get hold of the bigger 2.9 pistons and spend the money and a good quality engine rebuild

 

Get everything fully balanced and ported and if should be working fine :)

if you'r going to go for an over bore, go for a full on high compression 3.1 with 276 cams, it'll be a beast.
