Same basic motor, Just some design differences to fit in the IS's engine bay. Don't quote me on this but I think the gs 3.0 l6 is rated @220 hp and the is is rated @215 hp.

Well, You did gain 67k, What warranty did they provide ? I don't think one could tell by the seat of his/her pants. I wouldn't be too concerned about how the engine was treated prior to the install, Most likely cared for at a dealer. Did you get the history of the transplant ?

Given how old your engine was, and how many miles it had, I'm guessing you lost a few horses anyway.. no big deal.

they gave me a 6month warranty.

Did they use all of your original exterior engine parts 9 alternator, intake and the like ? Did they just replace the block and head ?

I think you are a lucky man. You should be happy...Inline6 is a very good engine...especially it's a 03 with only 18k on them.
