well here is another (luckilly theoretical question) if someone needed a new head, would they be able to use one from a D50? (you say it's different, but any reason it wouldn't work?)

[jessef]

You could but I'm guessing you'd need the connecting rods/crank to match the head.

Not sure. Pretty neat though.

When I got my Paj 4 years ago, I knew of people back in the 80/90's swapping the diesel into montero's. I didn't know Delica's had the same engines.

So just to add on here, for the engine it would be a D50 Truck you'd be looking for, and if I recall correctly didn't you say elsewhere previously that there are various other parts you can use from a Dodge Colt?

[jessef]

Dodge colt I used the wiring harness for the radio.

Dodge D50 Pickup is the application at parts shops.

like i said before this engine will last long if you just look after this engine, not over-rev it.

jfarsang,

Do you know if you can source brake pads and rotors based on North American Domestic such as the Dodge Pickup or something else?

[jessef]

88 Montero for brakes (stock single brakes) or 92 Montero (dual piston brakes)

[JMK]

Great, thanks for that!

Wish our oil filter was out in the open like that... must be nice to have all that room to get one's hand around it.

[mararmeisto]

Wow. So you can order OEM parts like T-Belt, etc., for a 1985 D50 and they will all work? Thanks for pointing that out.

Having talked with the parts desk at the Mitsu dealer here in Victoria, when Dodge needs parts for a D50, they call Mitsubishi. Dodge doesn't have them in stock, they rely on Mitsubishi to still carry them.
