			I'd replace the 3.7 with a 5.0/5.7, cheaper than the 4.3, many more options available, plenty of parts and support. More than enough power. The 3.0 isn't all that cheap either

			What happened to the 3.7?  I rebuilt my 170 six years ago, its still running strong. Could you rebuild the original engine?
