Did the op ever say why he wants a diesel? It would probably be just as easy to swap in a 3000gt twin turbo engine or a 3.8 eclipse GT engine for increased performance
I don't care much about horsepower. It looks like the 4m40 is the exact engine that would have been put in a diesel montero if they were available in the US. It doesn't seem like it came in anything industrial that Mitsushbsi sent to the US either. Can anyone confirm this information?
Thanks
The 4m40 (in turbo form) is what they put in the Gen2. From my research (limited on the Gen3, because the 6g75 is pretty nice anyways), the Gen3 would have a 4m41 turbo with direct injection. Ergo: expensive nightmare of a swap.
What I am not 100% clear about is if the 2001 4M40 has a turbo. It seems that earlier versions did not have a Turbo charger.

So I found out that the 4m40 has some support in the US. CAT uses them to power their mini excavators. CAT isn't known for having cheap parts but they typical support thertheir equipment for a long time.

I started thinking in detail about the transmission and the likely differences. I thought someone posted earlier that transmission were the same between a gas and a diesel. I will need to invest some time into figuring this out.
Thanks
