[shonum]

i have a 94 mtx and i am in the middle of rebuilding it due to a bad rod bearing. so i was wondering because i have read that the 3.2 has forged parts that the mtx dosent have forged so i want to know a list of the stronger parts and from which engine so i can build my engine a little stronger please write me back thanks!!!!

Not true. Both have forged crank and rods.

the rods and wrist pins are slightly larger/stronger in the 3.2 but both are forged. there are alot of boosted guys making lots of power on the 3.0 parts.

Boosted 3L rods/crank here.

the block is tougher also it has extra webbing and is slightly thicker.
not that the block needs to be stronger tho

ok so there is nothing i should get from a 3.2 to put into my 3.0

not unless you wanna have .2 more liters
if you want to go 3.0 dont take anything from the 3.2 its not needed.

oil pump flows more on a 3.2 slight modification to teh timing cover is required i belive.

Really? This is good to know, especially if building a high revving motor. Any more information regarding this? Can it bolt up to a 3.0L block?

Yes you can swap the 3.2 pump onto a 3.0 block.
Many have done it.
