Found on from a 2000 Sport. Both are 3.5L 6G74 engines. What I'm wondering is if these will interchange easily or would I be looking at modding lots to get it to fit? I know I'll have to swap over almost all the accessories, just wondering about the basic swap? Last edited by Skjeflo; 12/16/13 09:10 PM. 97 Montero 90 4-Door Montero RS -- R.I.P.

I don't think there is enough clearance for the SOHC pan and the DOHC does not fit on the SOHC. Might need a custom oil pan.. I'll find out as soon as I put the engine in the truck. And even if the pan fits not sure the oil filter will as its on the driver side and DOHC was on pass. with my oil cooler. Which I guess I cant hook up without more custom work. But other then the pan/pump seems doable but I'm working with a SR which has coils already if you have a distributor thats another story.

Here's the pan sitting on the front axle and you can see the motor mount isn't hooked up.

Re: Engine interchange 6G74 [Re: TainterRacing] #1067191 12/19/13 12:25 AM Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 54 va M mitsumonki Getting the Wheeling Fever I think so there is plenty of room in there now that its SOHC. But how? Should I put spacer under the mount? between the mount and bracket? Will doing this bring them to close together and mess up the mounts? So I have to raise the mounts up and out?

If the lower oil pan doesn't interchange then maybe you need both of them to make it fit. 95 Montero SR 3.8 MIVEC, Advance headers, 2 1/2" exhaust, Magnaflow muffler, OME shocks & rear springs, 2" body lift, 3" tank lift, 4.90s, TRE front locker, factory rear locker, Roger Brown Rock Sliderz, 315/75r16 (35") tires, Sport big brakes Page 1 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
