fasteddy I am from Anniston, no known relatives in the Russellville area.

Guess I will stick with the Mitsu 3.0 and just rebuild it. I read over a few of the rebuild threads and it seems pretty straight forward, are there preferred vendors to get parts from or is it all pretty much the same. I learned from Land Rovers that not all aftermarket parts are made equally, just wondering if the same rings true for this beast. I love my Land Rover, just that it is one heavy ass truck, I like the light weight of the Montero, and the SWB just looks cool in my opinion(sorta like a LandRovers little brother, (no offense intended)

Please keep the suggestions coming, I can always change my mind and go crazy with this thing, would really like to look at a diesel swap, how durable is the diesel in the mitsu?
