One more question: Shouldn't the 3.0/3.3 castings always have the reliefs around the crank area, since the 3.3 uses the same 86mm crank as the 3.5?
Thinking along, would a 3.0 benefit from putting the 3.5 crank in, effectively making it a 3.3?
The 3.3 was never available with D-jetronic. I wonder how this would change the engines characteristics. I assume it would rev slower but have more torque.
The E3 3.3's were less powerful (but had more torque) than the 3.0Si's but I always thought this was due to lower compression and carbs (or in case of the 3.3Li more restrictive L-jetronic)vs fi.
Anybody ever done this or has thoughts to share?
