Well, the 2.6 shares its block with the 4d55, so no worries there for the motor mounts, you reuse the ones from the montero. There is a great thread about ranger-montero swap on this board, that is what convinced me to attempt to do the swap. In a short while, i'll have paperwork (ranger wiring diagrams) sent to Montymycv, he'll put this on his site: mitsubishilinks.com To find an engine has been fairly easy uphere in Canada... Just found a low-miles rust bucket for cheap... You can check LESPAC.com if you're willing to have it shipped to your place...just a thought, don't know about u.s. market for these engines... Here is a nicer one with low miles, cheap for a running, titled truck: http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et-veh...QAdIdZ185955054 I can locate an engine around here... the cullprit would be shipping. you can go with a 4d56 too, engines alone goes for around 1500$ can. from a local importer. oh, and your transmission will bolt right up.
