Ok, so heres the deal. Im a low budget racer with an associates in automotive and a good enough tool set to fix/build almost anything. I'm lookin to get a second motor to build while I drive the factory one around (light mods). I've pretty much got my internals locked (unless you think you have a good set up, Im always lookin for another perspective) for the supercharged powerplant Im lookin at. My issue...the money...a block off ebay or locally through a junk yard is about 400-800 on a crate. There is a place in town that u pull your own parts and motors are only about a hundred to a hundred and a half. They have a 99 2.5 V6 that looks strikingly similar to my 2.7 V6 and I am curious what the differences are. If its a question of different crank and rods but same bore then I'll scoop that stuff up but I dont really need a boat anchor if the bores are different. So if any of you spec people could answer that, I would much appriciate it.

hey mate,
Im pretty sure you could research on the net the compression rate, or the bore stroke from TDC (top dead centre) and see if its the same as your engine.
If not you could use a V6 efi engine out of a santa fe, because they use the same power plant as the tiburon.
