Having an idea where you work would something like a 4.8 L with DOD be what you are talking about.

I am thinking of something like a 5.3L with DOD control. However, there are many other small V8s or even V6 engines that I believe would fit. I can say this, the engine compartment with the existing I5 is quite tight for some repairs. If the front end was about six to eight inches longer, the 275 hp I6 would have fit, but that might have ruined the looks.
Personally, I have driven quite a few H3s, and I'm not worried about the power as it exists.
