Well I've Realized that just putting some performance parts on my stock V6 will be the best way to go. Any recomendations on headers, intake, etc.? Any info on some things to throw on my V6

 

Ya 2 extra cylinders!
Find a wrecked truck with a 5.2 or 5.9 and swap over the engine and trans.

I think you will be disappointed with simple bolt-ons for the 3.9

 

Gibson headers , 1.7 roller rockers , and you can put on an open air cleaner... better muffler flowmaster , magnaflow..

 

Well.. From what I hear.. switching over to the V8 is a hassle?If its gonna just take money.. im up for that.. but I dont want to get everything put in and have problems with it. Unless someone has done it and it worked out fine?

 

dude, put the truck on auto trader, and take the money from it and turn around and buy a v8. its a nice truck but your really gonna want the v8.

 

Dont want payments again. Love my Truck.. ill just make the change! I really want to try to keep my truck.. ill just make the adjustments for the V8.. my tranny is already shot so thats a new already on its way anyways

 

if you play your cards right you wont have to make payments, but anyway. just get headers, improved throttle body, some type of exhaust, cold air intake or air cleaner, as padodgeram says roller rockers and stuff like that. but really id save all your money, buy a salvaged truck for cheap cheap, and convert it. its got all the stuff you need right there. take the computer, tranny and engine and swap em in it. good as new.

 

Cool, sounds like a plan.. so whats a ball park of how much the engine. Tranny. Computer/Electronics. just a ball park.. so i know how much to save and not get screwed over.

 

And im guessing the V8 will fit ok.. and brackets will line up?

 

See if you can find a local insurance auction in your area. Look for a roll over or something that got hit hard. You should be able to get it for $600-700.
Then swap every thing over,engine, brackets, wiring everything.
