I'd like to see a new version of the Montero & 3000gt. Just more options to compete with.

But back to the original post. Plh, I'm interested in hearing more. My 99 motor took a poop on me 6-7 months ago. I won't be in the market for a new motor right now but will be in the near future! Thought about finding another motor and rebuilding but a diesel would sooo niiiice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How much of a direct swap would this be? Motor, motor blocks, tranny mating up, clearance issues, harness, ecu? That would be my biggest delemia <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />


It is not a direct swap into a V6 powered rig. It can be done, but will involve a lot of work. Assume you are looking at this for your '99?

I'm planning on this swap for my '92 V6 - but this is a much simpler machine than your '99.
