Max potential from a 2.8

I'm looking for opinions on the maximum possible tq/hp numbers with stock aluminum heads (1.72/1.42 valves) heads and a 3.4L type intake (or something similar to it) and around 10:1 compression.

Plus, 'exactly' how long/wide is a 60/v6? What about weight with aluminum heads?

I'm working on a new project and I need to know within an inch or so of the dimensions, weight is a general ballpark though.

Help is much appreciated, thanks.

i'm making about 215 (i think) at the crank on a N/A 3.1 the aluminum heads are not stock and you MUST use an intake from a FWD car or a custom made intake to run the aluminum heads. the compression will require new pistons or something. i don't know about the weight or length/width questions off hand.

Are those intakes the 2 piece design? And what did you do to the 3.1 to get 215? Mod list?
