Hi all!
Updating the results of my plea for engine replacement help earlier this week. First I want to thank everyone who provided advice and help, especially HB Chris who offered me an amazingly generous deal on his extra engine. Thank you all!
While I did not hit the Powerball lottery this week, I believe I did win the E9 jackpot. I have tracked down an NOS 3.0 CS crate engine, kept for years in a heated, dehumidified garage. Still in the factory packing with the warranty tag twist-tied to it. I'm guessing this will end up being the newest, lowest mileage engine on the planet. Life is good.
Entering the part number into the Real OEM search box identifies it a replacement engine suitable for Euro or USA spec cars. But it also indicates that the engine was spec-ed for "the Swedish National market."
So, does anyone know how Swedish engines compare to other European countries' engines or to a USA spec engine? Is the cam different? Different pistons? I assume this means no US smog nonsense. Any information about I have here would be greatly appreciated.
The people on this forum are the best!
