I have a 89' Dodge Raider V6 3.0 that i tore up the top end on. I am thinking that i just want to change motors on it because it has 175000 miles and doesn't really have the power that i want. Rebuilding will cost $900 - $1200 from all that i have seen. i found a 6G72 DOHC V6 3.0L Mitsubishi 3000GT 90-92 for $800 has about 45,000 miles, and it is turn Key everything is included. Was just wondering if the motor will fit without much modifications or not. Sorry if i sound like i dont know but i dont know. i bought this raider without knowing very much about it. From what i have heard the DOHC motors do not have the low end power that i need for off road applications, is that true and if it is could i modify the motor to fix it? my wife and i want to use the Raider for Mission work in the philippines and we will need to take it in some off road possibly some snorkeling. If anyone has any suggestions as to what engine and transmission combination would work best for me. (mind you i really dont want to do to much in modification to get it all in there). Thank you very much

If you don't want to make the necessary modifications to make the DOHC motor function properly, then you would probably be better served to have the one you've got overhauled by someone reputable. Or do it yourself. The last thing you want is to have problems in a foreign country because something's not done correctly. My $.02 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Keep in mind that the DOHC will use an entirely different computer along with different sensors and what not. While it will bolt in, it wont be so simple. I think you will find the stock 3.0 to have plenty of power for your aplication with a fresh and quality rebuild. Parts for the sohc 3.0 will probably be easier to get a hold of in the PI as well.

buy a pajero over there, they have turbo diesel models and convertible ones too <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

The Stealth engine will fit fine as a long block.
You will have to change the front accessories, intake , oil pan & pump.
