well about a month ago it broke down, finally got the head off, the #4 cylinder valve spring broke, dropped the valve into the cylinder, danced around and tore up the cylinder and piston untill the piston slammed it into the head and cracked the head too.. found a motor with 26,000 on it for $2g, should be back on the road next weekend :(

Hmm, seems to be a common thing for the 3.7.. Maybe I should just replace the springs around 100k to prevent this? :?

You should get some Fastman 200 or 206 cams for your new heads, a reworked throttle body, and a B&G flash. It will be a totally different vehicle. :D
