I have nothing to offer, but the engine is actually from Mitsubishi. Have been watching these things puff smoke for the last decade or more. So much for Japanese quality...

Shoot the poor thing, put it out of its misery. I had a Dodge Dynasty with the 3.3L in it and it ran STRONG for 190xxx miles until it got killed in a wreck. I wouldn't have the 3.0, not Mitsubishi's best effort.

That's what I had and sold. The odo quit somewhere around 220k, but the car kept going. It failed the last inspection, and the guy's wife wants him to get rid of it, but the trans works fine.. I want to rip the drivetrain out and find another car to put it in, but I don't think his SO will wait that long.

I bet this engine will slide right into that minivan...

the mitsu 4g63/4g64 are AMAZING motors.


a little work, and you can get 900hp from one. Upwards of 500hp on a stock 6-bolt block!

We're talking 4cylinders here...
