depends which one you compare with.
if you take a modern 3sgte it wins on hp by a significant amount, and loses on torque by a little bit. add just 2psi of boost extra, and it will win on both and be factory reliable.
the truth of the 3sgte is that the ct26 found on them is totally crap.
if fitted with a decent turbo and some good manifolds, it could walk on the v6 with good reliability.
plus upgrades are easy as pie with a mild turbo setup. just unmild it.
its a personal choice thing. if you cam up the v6 somewhat out of 'fe' emissions/econo spec it would be a lovely thing i'm sure.
i just have this unrealistic expectation for all NA engines to make 100hp per litre. if they dont, they fall short. the bare minimum is 75/l which those engines struggle to meet. they are built to pull wagons around :-) if you like torque, go for it.
engine swaps are a personal thing anyway. whats best for me isnt for you no doubt.
do what makes you happy! if not, you'll regret it anyway.
