I can only assume that this is tounge-in-cheek but in the off chance its
not, I'd say you're best bet would be to leave Mom's Durango alone and have
a v-8 put in your truck!
If you're v-6 is still in good condition maybe you can sell it or trade it
in to offset the cost of a v-8. You could also just sell your truck and get
one with a v-8.

No offense but I cant tell who's crazier here, you for dreaming up this
scheme or your Mom for agreeing to it.
