Hi guys, I just bought a sweet ''97 3000GT back in January and I can''t for the love of me figure out if it''s the Base or SL model or even SOHC or DOHC.
I''ve been Googling 3000GT engine pics, and have found that DOHC engines have a label on them "V6 DOHC 24V". Mine says nothing except "V6", would this be safe to assume it''s the Base model or are some DOHC''s not labeled?

If you are non turbo, you have an SL

SEBBA Base and SL are two different things on the later 3s cars. The base is only 160HP and the SL is 220. I think one may be SOHC as well

A SOCH 6G72 is news to me, although that would explain the hp difference.

EDIT: Yeah there was a SOHC. Wtf?

Oh and to tell which heads you have just look to see if your front head has one or 2 cams, or 1 or 2 cam gears. should be easy to tell. if you have one then your base if two then your SL

So the webmaster of this site clearly made a typo by labeling this as a a 24 valve SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM engine right? http://japanesemotorsontarioor.com/images/gallery6.jpg
