Rip it out and find a good 4.1, best thing you will ever do lol.

Seriously though just the normal stuff like extractors and holley with a suitable manifold and you should be fine. If you decide togo any further than bolt ons You are wasting your time with the 3.3.

Sorry if it sounds harsh but it's fact, I would hate to see you waste alot of time  / money on a 3.3. The good things I mentioned about the bolt ons is they will bolt onto the 4.1

Good luck with it, do you have any pics?

Yeah had to change the accelerator cable, sprint carbys did all the work for me
the accelerator feels a bit to light now compared to what it was but it definently goes harder :wink:
