Can you imagine what a dealer would charge if you went in and said
"I'm here for my Dak's 300,000 mile scheduled maintenance checkup."

I say put in the V8, the 3.9 is weak. Then you will have lots of power. I am sure thats what you are after. If the budget will allow it.

I just ruined my 3.9 and had to have it rebuilt. My oil pump shaft broke and oil pump stopped just as I started crossing a long narrow bridge while doing 70 MPH, I couldn't stop or pull over. Since it happen very suddenly, I thought it was a bad pressure sensor. I don't know what makes the pump shaft break but make sure you get a new one.

It would be cheaper to get a low mileage V6 and
swap it around $600 to 800
The V8 will also bolt right in just need to run
the V8 computer and add 2 injector wires thats it
quite an easy swap $800 to $1000 you can find a
V8 for
A nicly built V6 with a cam diff pistons raising
the comp to 10 to 1 around $2000 bored crank
ground new oil pump and hardened shaft
be sure you either replace or get the rods resized
also with a little machine work you can run the
heavier V8 rod this makes the V6 lower end
vertualy bullet prof the stock lower end will
esily handle a 100 shot of nitrious or 8psi
boost
Its around $300 for a computer ballance of the
rods pistons rings are all weighed bobb weights
used and spun ballance this also will make the
lower end stronger and run smother

Did the engine really sieze, or did the timing chain break and jam up the works?
