If I was starting from scratch it would be a gen 3 turbo combination favor of the big block.
A 3.5L swap should be easier than a Gen3 Hemi swap – possibly.I think the 3.5 swap would be interesting, would need a trans from an LX car..... custom headers, engine and transmission management could be adapted from the Visions controllers, maybe.
I would agree with that statement - but not sure about the turbo aspect, per se.If I was starting from scratch it would be a gen 3 turbo combination (in?) favor of the big block.
I'm in the same position.The bad side to that statement is I already have a garage full of big block parts . . . and not single Gen3 Hemi part.
Not really interested in starting over . . .

89 Fifth I believe you are wrong on the 4.0 being a bore stroked 3.5L , maybe I read the article wrong though . Jeep 4.0 liter six cylinder engineThe 4.0 wasn't based off the 3.3/3.8, it's just a bored stroked 3.5
Trust me, I used to own an LH car and the 4.0 Pacifica swap was big talk. I used to have very detailed data on the LH program and all the engineering that went into it. The 4.0 was a 32 Valve motor whereas the 3.3/3.8 were 16 Valve. There are some similarities but it's like Comparing a 318 Poly and 318 Magnum
