I have searched on the issue and it seems that I cannot find a definitive answer, just a bunch of posts saying it should work. There is a 95 sohc 24v 3.0 in the local u pull it and the 6g72 in my 89 knocks so loud, I can feel it in my teeth when I start it up. I could grab EVERYTHING with a 30 day warranty for $250. The only hurdle I see is wiring harness and the 95 is an automatic, while my 89 is a manual.

As I understand, both engines share a bellhousing bolt pattern as well as numerous mounts/bosses for the engine mounts on the side of the block, and Mitsubishi built the pilot bearing into the flywheel, which will bolt up to the 24v 6g72, right?

If I had all the money I've ever spent on cars, I'd spend it all on cars.
