You asked how to make more power. A j32 or 35 will make more power stock than your 3L with bolt ons. The best bang for the buck is a j32. The best way to upgrade it is a j35 crank and rods. You could always just bolt a j32 head to a j35 block. It's just that the j32 sleeves are stronger. If you stay fairly stock ( meaning bolt ons but no nitrous or boost). Than the j35 sleeves are fine and will cool the engine better. There's also piston to valve clearance.... I could go on but this is a general answer. I'm just repeating what I've read on this site. So get to searching and start reading, and you'll be an expert in no time. It's just my opinion that it'd be a waist to spend to much trying to upgrade the 3L unless you just put some mild boost. I just always go to the extream with my builds. Good luck with whatever you do. A few years ago an engine swap would have seemed to overwelming to do myself. Now it just seems like the logical thing to do. I know I couldn't aford to pay someone to do it if I didn't know how .... To each his own.
