engine swap?

[twisted]

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone knows what gas/petrol v6 engine would mount to the Delicas trans? My van is down for the winter and I have a friend that runs an auto wrecking yard....

I would get a 2.4 turbo from a 2001-2004 Chrysler Sebring. This is the 4G64 Mitsubishi engine found in the Petrol Delicas, with the bonus of having the turbo and can be tweaked for 200+ ponies. If he has a spare turbo set up I would be interested. I may be in Edmonton around Christmas with a bit of time. I'll let you know.

I'll get him to keep an eye out for you. You still have your parts van?

Just a heads up, the diesel Delica has a different transmission than the gas one. So you might want to do some more research before you find a donor gas engine.

you might have to pull your motor and trace the shape of your bell housing, so you know what will bolt up , you could always send the trace to advance adapters in the states and for a few hundred dollars they make you an adapter to bolt to just about anything, I would go with a eagle talon or dodge stealth... just make sure you put on a proper torque converter for the added power, the diesels are torque monsters, but have Very little HP. gas engines are all hp and very little torque...

Glen at CCAutos has done 2 (?) diesel-to-gas changeovers and one gas-to-diesel changeover, so if anybody knows its going to be him.

A better fit might be a 2.8 litre from an L400 or from a Pajero. When you change from diesel to gasoline, you generally have to change the transmission too because the gearing is too low for the rpms of a gasoline engine. You put a gasoline engine on the stock L300 diesel transmission and you're going to run out of gears at about 50km/h!
