Yes - just be aware that the pistons are 10:1 CR and the cams are longer duration. The dynamic CR is close to the Montero, but a little higher. You may (or may not) need to run 89 octane - you also may (or may not) need to adjust the ignition timing. The cams will move the torque peak a little higher in the rpm band. You will no longer have a non-interference engine, so if you break a timing belt, you'll be replacing valves.

You will need the accessory brackets, engine mounts, timing covers, manifolds and some other odds and ends from your Montero engine.

Will it get more hp with the higher compression ?


As long as you use the Montero ECU and intake manifold, not much, but some. The important thing is that the torque peak will be raised a few hundred rpms so you have some reserve punch at highway speeds - good for larger tires.... due primarily to the later closing of the intake valves and longer duration of the Diamante cams.

and will it run ok in the Montero ?


I think it'll run fine, so long as you use the Diamante cams with the Diamante pistons. Ask Justice.... he has one and says it has more pep.... as it should. Charlie likes the Diamante cams in the truck engines, too. I've installed Diamante cams in my engine, but then my engine is a Heinz 57 model.
