Hi,

I have a '90 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 4x4 5 speed with the 3.0 V6. I had it rebuilt with new heads, new oil pump, cylinders honed, new bearings etc, but a few days after getting it back on the road it was overheated and now has a bottom end knock.

I am planning on a replacement. Can someone tell me what are my replacement choices? What engines will bolt right in with the existing 5 speed and motor mounts? What engines will bolt in but would need a donor ECU? Does the 2.6 4 cylinder use the same trans bell-housing? Does a 3.0 V6 from a front-wheel drive work? (If I swap the mounts/exhaust manifolds etc)?

In other words, what are my options?

I have read someone recommending Toyota 22 RE install ??? Is that an option? ( I used to have a 4 Cyl Raider, and I didn't mind the power output.)

I have searched the site for compatibility chart etc. If I missed it, can you point me to it please. Thanks for your help.

According to WIKIPEDIA, all these cars used the 6g72:
