3.6

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the site and would like to ask if anyone has installed a new 3.6 in their Liberty.
Thanks

Not to anyones knowledge.

But who in there right mind would want that boat anchor in there vehicle?You would have to keep a few spare cylinder heads on hand for how fast they crack them.

The factory 3.7 is a 90 degree engine and the 3.6 is 60, so it’s not a simple swap. It’d require a 3.6 drivetrain, harnesses and pcm to be done.
I’m sure someone knows how to make it happen

be better off working on the mythical 4.7L swap.

As cool as I think a 3.6 kj would be, if you want a better engine it seems like buying an xterra with a 4.0 is the way to go.

That is 1 tick better the the 3.6,so not a upgrade at all.

*koff*Hellcat motor*koff*

I mean if you're gonna do it, why not do it right?

I'm sure by now someone has wrecked a Hellcat GC. Donor drivetrain and all that.

eta: no wait! this one might actually be do-able. hear me out... Neon SRT-4 drivetrain.
motor and trans. yes, the FWD trans. run the rear shaft off the "drivers" side output, the front shaft off the "passenger" side. with the LSD in the trans already you could have an AWD setup. question is would the front shaft be too short or have too high an angle to be do-able. 400HP/400TQ is easy and reliable on those motors and trans. You could make a mini-hellcat Liberty.

I might just have to start looking harder for donor rigs now.

Why stop with the hellcat engine and keep tabs on all the Demons and wait for one of those to be wrecked.

700HP is so yesterday when you can have 840HP.

Think I'd just go buy a Raptor... :gr_grin:

About same price as Raptor..I still want a Rally fighter!

I really wish they would make the Raptor with the GT350R's 5.2 Voodoo V8:smokin:

x2 or at least put some V8 into it...Idk about all this Ecoboost stuff!

Don't get me wrong that 3.5 is a great engine and I've heard it's tuned for low end torque in the new Raptors but That thing is huge(the Raptor) and a V8 sounds so much better.

A 5.2 Voodoo tuned for low end would be fun.

I watched a vid of a GT350 with twin snails on it. They tuned it to help fill the gap that happens below the 4K rpm mark. So nice.:gr_grin:

Call me old school... :mario: but I had no issues with a 5.2L magnum w/5spd in a 1500 ram.

I'd happily put that in a Liberty with a dead V6. Just sayin...
