[QUOTE="Lil ugly, post: 744705, member: 3188"] I dont have any specific experience with the 3.6 so I am speaking just from general mechanical experience. A quick search on the issue shows that the problem your having seems to be fixable with good results. It only seems to be an issue with 2011 to 2013 models. Chrysler fixed it after that. That being said it really comes down to cost. The cost of repairing the head on your motor is going to be a lot less than purchasing a new to you LS (that could have issues), adapter to your tranny or a new tranny, new drive shafts, motor mounts/tranny mounts, exhaust, fuel lines,maybe fuel pump, wire harness adapter,ECU + flash. That is just a general picture of what is involved in the swap. Is the swap worth it? It is not, on a straight monetary comparison. However if you want an excuse to upgrade to a V8, then the head issue is a perfect excuse. [/QUOTE]
