Yes it bolts up to the 2.6 5 speed and auto trannys and if your v6 has the km148 or aw2 it will bolt to that with a bellhousing swap from a 2.6 auto tranny thats what we did with toastys. the important thing to look for is making sure its a wide block, if i remember correctly all the 2.4 maxes with a 5 speed are wide and the auto tranny max/d50 trucks are narrow. The early 2.4's use a 6 bolt crank like the 2.6 and you can swap your flexplate over from your auto tranny engine but later 2.4s are 7 bolt cranks and you'll need to order a flexplate from the dealer thats what we did for toasty's 2.4 as it came out of a 94 max.
If anyone is swapping into a montero there are some other stuff that needs to be done if you are interested in knowing let me or toasty know.
