Re: 6.0 V8 H3
Well, If it is real and only the engine was changed I sure hope the TOTAL drive train can take the torque that the power plant puts out...

Re: 6.0 V8 H3
If they put a V8 in the Alpha I hope they offer a 5-speed and Adventure Package. When can I place my order 
They would have to upgrade the manual trans to handle the tourque of the V8.
Maybe drop in a new Vette engine???

It is the engine AND transmission from the H2. So far it seems to be a testament to how well built and heavy duty the H3 is from the factory. He also mentioned that he might put a supercharger on it too!  I would imagine that would put the HP over 500. I'd be interested to see if things start breaking then!!

Re: 6.0 V8 H3
Alpha does not get a 6.0L. If they put the H2 drivetrain in the H3, there will be little aluminum pieces from the front axle laying on the side of the road. There is NO way that front axle will take that torque. In fact, the front axle on the Alpha when it comes out next year will be different than what is on the current H3.

I am far from being an expert on diffs, but if the front diff was that weak, wouldn't they be popping all the time when you put it in 4 LO and climb over rocks and everything else. With that gearing there has to be an awful lot of torque at the diffs even with the I-5. Now, granted if you had the 6.0 and drove it like an idiot and hit full throttle every time, I could definitely see parts breaking. If you drove with a half an ounce of sense though, it seems like it should hold up pretty good. Having said all that, I still would never do the conversion in mine. I'm just waiting for the Alpha!!!
