the 3 litre would be the better IF its had the pistons replaced.

otherwise the best would be the turbo and intercooled 3.2 IF you can find one. the non-intercooled and atmo 3.2 are the more common.

otherwise the turbo'd 2.7. fairly common, bulletproof motor.

3.2 turbos are pretty much all aftermarket turbo setups here in Oz.

Same as 2.7 turbos.

you guys really miss out on all the good imports :(
the price you pay for a protected industry.

in that case with the turbo 2.7 and 3.2 being rather rare over there then i'm afraid the ZD30 is the best choice. check if its been rebuilt or factor in cost of a rebuild. the later model ones don't seam to have that problem.
