Default 3.5 and 3.9 differences?

Im looking to get a few posts and comments here regarding the 3.5 and 3.9 motor.

I currently have a 3.5 which is advertised to be at 211HP. I do wish it was the 3.9 just to get the rated 240HP benefits. If im understanding this correctly its that the 3.5 and 3.9 are very simalar motors... Obviously a few extra Litres in the 3.9 giving it some extra HP.

But im wondering if there might be some interchangeable parts from the 3.9 that would fit on the 3.5 motor? I am more then willing to pick up any part and have it installed if its not too difficult of a job and if it is indeed worth it in the HP departement.

For example if the intake manifold on the 3.9 is bigger then that on the 3.5 and it shares the exact same bolt pattern as the 3.5 manifold then thats a pretty basic swap right there.

Any suggestions? Comments? Has anybody installed 3.9 parts on the 3.5?

Im here to take everybodies input and use it, so please comment!
