Bit sad if it's only 240BHP from a supercharged 3.8 V6

It's a fairly "old school" engine to start with though. Pushrods, 12 valve. Wouldn't be a patch on a 3.2 without the blower IMHO. I've driven the NA version in a yank tank and it was a pretty lazy engine. I'd guess at no more than 170 BHP. Pulls strongly but runs out of revs too early. [smiley=evil.gif]

Should be quite torquey with a supercharger on though.

Really! I didn't think this combination would ever be seen on a modern engine; pushrods takes me back to my earliest cars that I worked on of 30 years ago!

Not this side of the pond, no.

Cast iron heads too, IIRC
