Hate to tell you this, but you will never get the 3.2L SRT-6 motor from the Crossfire in the Nitro. For one, it is a Mercedes Benz motor since the Crossfire is a pervious generation Mercedes Benz SLK.
While the 5.7L HEMI is a great idea, and proved they could do it with the concept that showed up at SEMA. However, the 4.0L was designed to equip an optional turbocharger. Chrysler Group is already testing another lineup of extreme horsepower V-6 engines to replace the current ones. The 4.0L was also designed to be able to take direct injection as well.
I could see a 4.0L turbocharged V-6 w/ direct injection good for 350 horsepower in the Nitro. Time will tell though. Chrysler Group is already trying to build up there SRT-lineup again w/ holes from the Dodge Ram SRT-10 Regular Cab and Quad Cab!
