Okay guys, here is where this stands.

  • My Oil Pump Dilema,
  • My block is a 3.0L V6 from 1995-2000
  • The original oil pump from my 1989 V6 doesn't match the new engine block
  • Niether Montero Oil Pumps or Caravan Oil pumps match up
  • I need an oil pump for a 1995-2000 3.0L or 3.5L engine
  • The Oil Filter gets relocated and I needed to get the Oil Filter Bracket from the salvage yard
  • I suspect I will also need aditional items like the timing tensioner from that other engine
  • I also suspect I will have to modify the Plastic Timing Cover
  • At this point, I'm unsure if it will fit along with the A/C mounting bracket


I'll make sure I document this on the forum along with photographs.
