Mitsubishi Van Transmission mounting problem

[VanGo]

MODERATOR: This is a transmission mounting issue for an U.S. sold 1988 Mitsubishi Van

I’m really glad I found this forum, there seems to be dearth of good information on these vehicles.

Here’s my problem: I have a 1988 Mitsubishi Van RWD, Automatic. The engine that was in it was the factory “wide block” 2.4 L, it was either a G64B or a 4G64B -- whatever was original was.

Anyhoo, I bought and rebuilt a 4G64B engine, put the intake on it and got ready to bolt up the tranny and guess what? It didn’t line up! I had already gotten rid of the original motor so I literally had to abandon the vehicle -- new motor and all.

Since then, I’ve done a little research and found that my van came with what I’m going to call the ‘wide block’ and other 2.4 L engines (Galant, Expo, etc.) had a narrow block. I have been told that I can obtain 2.0L Mitsubishi truck bell-housing and it will mate the current tranny from the van up to a narrow block motor.

It makes sense but I haven’t been able to obtain the narrower bell housing yet so I can’t verify it. I’m wondering does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

buy a diesel engine? It will be one of a kind.

if you cant find something from forums and you have the exact engine codes and specs, try calling advanced adapters, they have done lots of mixing and matching for me especially bellhousings. just google them and you will find them in the first 5
