My question is thus, what would be the
ramifications of having a reconditioned v6 put into my 1990
camry alltrac? what else would i need to replace? would
it be worth the cost?<br>I love this car, and it's
only problem is the lack of power. Any suggestions as
to how to get more power without a complete engine
replacement?

Have you looked into an ECU upgrade,some NGK plugs and some Nology hot wires
along with maybe an air intake they all should add some power.

isn't the quickest engine power upgrade a NOS? it easily adds 50hp for 600
dollars.

yea, and it can also screw your engine over for
$600. It's called lean burn out. Especially on an old
engine with marginal piston seals. Too high cylinder
pressures and we are talking rebuild. NOS is only for the
strong-willed. I have seen a Geo Metro w/ NOS. When he shifted
to second the cylinder head popped off. All we saw
is him pushing the car back in Neutral. It was an
easy way to get rid of that car.<br><br>-- Peter
