Hi folks.
Hope that i am correct here. Im a proud owner of a 95 Diesel 4x4 double cabin mitsubishi l200 which looks similar to the mighty max. I live in dominican republic and my motor broke down. Its a diezel non turbo engine. Now I want to put in something stronger and thougt about a radical swap and putting in a 6g72 gasoline v6 engine. I dont want to loose my 4wheel drive. My car is a manual transmission model. Does anybody have an idea which motor will fut without too many problems? I do not want a diesel e gine any more... Thanks for help. I am speaking spanish and german too .

I don't know how the mounts differ but SOHC 12V 6G72 came stock in the MM. I doubt it would bolt up to the diesel transmission, but all the 6G72 trucks were 4WD. You would probably need an entire donor truck to make this happen.

Thank you very much for your answer. Mechanics here are not that perfect but working time is very cheap. I have been talking to a friend in germany. He told me that there are even adaptors for sale between engine and transmission. I would like to have the 6 cilinder engine... Could hou give me more advices please?
