but if i had a 3.5 with a bad motor i would get a 3.0 block and rebuild it as a 3.0 with out a backward look.
the 3.5 is just a little too much excitement for an old man like me.....wondering when the rods might bend.
i loved driving mine though.

After driving the 617, I do not think I have ever needed to see how it winds up. I need to adjust my vacuum control valve because you just do not need to use enough throttle to get crisp shifts. My ALDA looks virgin but my low end lack of "turbo lag" makes me wonder about why anyone would need to remove the ALDA. I have only owned it for a couple of months, so who knows what the PO did. He, or his mechanic seem to know what they were doing.
