Even though this is a chrysler emgine its fun to find little mitsubishi easter eggs. This engine has about 90k mile on it and is overall in good shape. Cleaning and prepping has been going pretty smooth.

Old crusty transmission mount vs new lol.

I installed some manual aisin hubs as the auto locking weren't working. I made a video of the process if you're interested! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1KcMCuWbig I also scored some OEM Mitsubishi Ralliart web wheels. Going to clean these up and put some 31's on them.

One thing that is a known issue is the compression on the original engine is a little low. It has 250,000 miles on it with unknown maintenance history so the plan is to rebuild a spare engine over time and have it ready to swap in in when needed. I found a 6g72 out of an old lebaron at the pick...

It's a huge improvement. It still feels like sitting on a cinder block compared to a modern suspension lol. Honestly, the biggest improvement from replacing the bushings was the handling tightness and the reduction in squeaks.

Rebuilt the front end. New poly tuff bushings, UCA, cleaned & painted LCA, pitman/idler arm, brake lines, tie-rods, and sway bar bushings. Before After

Thanks and that's awesome. Would love to see the progress when you start.

Time for a few small cosmetic touches. Cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted various external things. The bash guard cleaned up nicely. The cross bars were pretty gross so I cleaned them and painted them with bed-liner. Then I filled in some deep gouges that were in the bumper ends. It's...

Taking care of some interior items. I didn't realize at first that the brake lights weren't working. The hazard switch was completely fried and broken into pieces. I cleaned the contacts and superglued the switch parts back together which solved the brake light issue. Now the hazards work as...

Ran into a small problem. After installing the new water pump and timing and buttoning the front of the engine back up, coolant started to run down the back of the transmission. The waterpipe that goes into the back of the water pump didn't seat as well as I thought it did. Pulled the intake...

Made it home. Celebrating with some NM Beer. Also, these initial posts will be a consolidating a couple of months time frame to catch up to current. I noticed coolant dripping from behind the harmonic balancer, hard to see the waterpump with the timing cover but assuming its dripping from...

Hi all, I'm relatively new here, but I wanted to start a thread to document fixing and building out a 1991 Montero that I bought as a project. I want to have some documentation to reference for myself in the future and help anyone if they're working on a similar project. I recently moved to...
