Best bang for the buck, pull your motor and drop in a J35A3.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't; my understanding is your engine was rated at 260 hp using the old methodologies, the J35A3 is using the new measurement standard. That said, I'm pretty sure I've read reports of folks who've taken the heads and intake off their J32A2 engines and mounted them on the J35A3 block to get the best of both engines.

Externally the engines are virtually identical.
