the 3.2 inline 5 cylinder from the old tls were interesting to say the least they were the old nsx v10 cut in half so def plenty of power there. variable valve timing is def a beast. personally if you could drop a taurus sho 3.0 or 3.2 in the bed that would be kewl too. nissan 3.0 sohc vg30de v6 fwd from the older maximas would be kewl as well, put 300zx vg30dett parts in that bastard and larger twin turbos around 800-1000hp should do the trick...

I wouldnt count the 3.8L out. It is a good engine put into a shitty van (like everything else chrysler builds).

Ill admit i never drove an oddyse (no idea how to spell it) but if i ever get a chance to line up that T&C with one i will.

Any Minivan that you can smack in a straight line and absoultly fry the tires (with Traction control off) is perfect in my book. But i guess its typical american vs jap design, americans go for raw torque while the japs focus on revving the piss outta stuff. :)

later,
Dustin
