I'm looking at it, but want to wait until I get the yard open - then I'll have plenty of parts and can cut up a Montero frame for a "true" engine/transmission/firewall rolling chassis jig and pull a 3800 engine for test fitting with the various transmission/t-case options.

Even if it all will fit, there's still a lot of work to make that swap. I might even prefer to use another truck for any attempt if the present truck is running ok.

We'll see - first I need the space, a welder, the parts (cheap) and the time.

I do like that swap, but I wish the 60* 3900 engine had a factory blower package. I think the 90* engine will be a tight fit side-to-side.
