just my 2 cents, i would go with a 93-94 motor strictly for the fact of having a distributor and its a good base. everyone says that a coil pack motor is suppose to be better for a number of reasons, but i dont think that they are worth the eletrical problems youll be chasing, the camshaft sensor youll be replacing and just the money youll be spending. i know the 3.0 isnt a cheap motor to modify, trust me i know, but look up what you can get for kits compare prices and hp/torque ratings. and if you dont want to go that old i would stay away from flex fuels, parts are extremely expensive, my old boss had one and at like 98,000 fuel filter, fuel pressure, fuell pump, and a little switch that tells what type of fuel it is went bad and ended up being over a grand to replace.
