Does anyone make forged crank/rods/pistons for the early 90s 3.8L v6? Over sized valves?

im sorry you are building a 3.8

Have fun with that. You can have anything custom made if you have the money.

I'd be curious too as my family's got one that could use a bit of work. For those of us that cannot afford custom one off parts, is there anything aftermarket available?

3.8L try this webpage it would give you a better explination of the motor they tried to turbo charge it but the bottem end blew out of it!

I'm pretty sure Nenad had some Forged pistons made up for his 3.3 Turbo Dynasty. It's been a while since I talked to him, but he is a sharp guy, you may be able to track him down through his cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/256392/1

There are forged 3.3 pistons out there in all kinds of compression ratios. There are NO forged 3.8 pistons out there. Not that it matters, the 3.8 cylinder walls are so thin that no rebuilder will touch a 3.8. When a 3.8 car comes in they go and get a 3.3 and "make it a 3.3" and drop it in.

The 3.5 used forged internals, if you get a machine shop to look at a 3.5 crank you may be able to get one into a 3.3.

you may have better luck looking around www.dodgeintrepid.net I know you can go up to newer style intakes to gain power. I hear porting the heads helps alot. Contact shelbydodgeimp on there
