Well, the Bitchie is a gonner. On my way bunny hunting and on the freeway around 3500rpm I slowly lost power and then began to spew oil. I could hear the engine begin to tick just slightly so I shut her down. Towed it back the 60 miles back to my shop and have decided to peice her out this week and take what I want. I just put the new clearwater heads on less than 8k ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It may be an easy fix but I am just not into my baby anymore. I feel like fixing it is one step forward, two steps back. Too bad, because I have really liked the looks and comments I get on her.

I have been looking for a 4dr, for my son. This is the second one that that is within my striking zone. How much does it cost to rebuild a V6 compared to a 4. Oh and what do you want for it?
Well on my way to becoming that eccentric old man in every town.(crazy as a s#@thouse rat) With a yard full of desireable old vehicles that tells you, Sorry they're not for sale..... Someday I'm going to fix them.

You dont rebuild a 3.0.. You stare at it for days and days wondering what to do. Then,, you strip it for parts and haul it to the salvage yard. Please dont change my mind anyone. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Tell me it is time to let her go to the scrap yard in the sky and tell me it will be all right. please please PLEASE!!

Hey thats not fair. I looked at that KSL site, to see what kind of 95's there were. And I found this KSL MMMMMMMMMMMMM Yellow That is way too much for a Montero that needs an engine. I just picked up my 87 in West Jordan about 2 months ago for $500.

You dont rebuild a 3.0.. You stare at it for days and days wondering what to do. Hmm. I'm not sure FrankR would agree with that. Perhaps his quote would be: "you put a blower on that 3.0... and then stare at it for days and days wondering what to do" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Best of luck, whatever you end up doing! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Eric W.

I agree $500 is way too high for an old 2dr 4cyl that does not run. Not to mention that its a 5spd,and does not have the offroad package. But yet I am strangely drawn to its yellow paint.
