 Hello all.  Slowly getting the money and parts together to rebuild the 3.9 in my 89 dakota.  I read somewhere that there were several things that you could do to the block to help.  Little tricks that might increase oil flow or cooling.  Not talking about hi-po oil pumps.  Things like slightly enlarging the oil passages on the cam journals.  Cross over tubes in the intake area for better coolant flow.  I know these work on small and big blocks but dont know what all should be done on a V6.  Just looking for anything I can do to help this rebuild last for a very long time.  Also does anyone know of a good rebuilder in the waco, austin, DFW area in texas that can do all these little tricks and not be outragous in price?
 
 TIA
