The fact that it runs is amazing, it's a testament to Mitsubishi's engineers.
@itsaboutfam11 ай бұрын
That motor was either running for a bit after the initial rod snapped or it was on highway speed when it snapped. Either or...that shortblock is toast. That Gen 3 is in great shape body wise. Hopefully the transmission is in great shape and drivetrain. It's worth saving ...put another motor in it and it's ready. That Gen 3 deserves another go at life.
@chazny11 ай бұрын
Definitely worth saving!! For $700, I feel that any problem would be worth fixing to keep that clean gen3 on the road. Even just installing same motor would be mint!! For an engine swap, I really think that an ls swap would be insane for this Montero. Although there's very little info about the swap itself, several people have done it. In the future, I am considering doing a LM7 5.3l (2001 suburban) swap into my 2000 Montero sport. It'll be a lot of work but it'd be sick.

Fix it and you will have another rental car for your customer. I would love to see a mild overland-explorer type of build. Fix it, sort it out, make a sleeping platform inside, table at the rear trunk door etc. Just some simple overland mods, get some A/T tyres on it and rent it out.

Find a newer short block. Ignore the engine swappers, it's never as easy to integrate everything onto a completely different engine. Stay 3.8.
@PuffinPass11 ай бұрын
Soon as you showed the pan from underneath my first thought was, "Yep that looks like a thrown rod". I know you are a bit more into staying with the Mitsi gear on your builds but curious how much work it would be to maybe toss in a 4.3 Vortec from an S10. Gain power without going overboard and maybe even increasing overall reliability and mileage.

Awesome vehicle. I got the same 3.0 engine 2005 model from Emirates, as a project car. Project was done within one month. Still with me since September 2022. Stability and speed is better than I thought even cornering. 190 kmph until now. Most of all parts are genuine except suspension bushes. Engine half overhauled. Not the block. Good performance in the desert. For your car, better fix another used engine.

don't think somebody would save it unless you have some other engine to swap. There are some BMW engine swaps inside the montero.
