I have also found a second hand complete engine for $3500 with all bolt ons including turbo, talk about stressed out

From what i have read its very hard to put an older engine into a newer car due to saftey and emission standard upgrades. Some have suggested a 3.2 from the last of the pajeros would be a good option but hard to find at a reasonable price
