4G Montero Builds?

[pointblank9957]

Hey guys! First time posting here in years, just here to toss out some ideas.
So while reading through the 4g wiki page, I noticed that the 4g64 came in Montero Sports. When I found that out, I tried looking for one of those optioned Monteros with absolutely no luck whatsoever. Doing some more digging a few years later, I found out they only come in ES 2WD 5 speed trim levels. Over about 5 years I've glanced here and there for one so I could do the ol' 4G64T bolton setups to have some fun. Obviously not a whole lot of these were sold with these options, I've come across exactly 2 4g64 equipped Monteros in my years of searching. Only 1 had a photo of the engine bay. I'm struggling to find photos even on Google.

So I'm just putting this info out there, maybe someone has a 97 Montero Sport ES 5 Speed 2WD sitting around and they want to have some fun with it .

I haven't seen a Montero on the road in quite a while. I'd imagine they're pretty rare. Hopefully those that have them are enjoying them.

Also should keep eye on imported Japanese 1996-1998 Mitsubishi Pajero Rookie (Montero). Those were the ones came with a 4G64 and it's AWD manual or auto. Some are already 25 years old, so maybe be found in the US market.

When I was 18 I worked as a service porter for a mitsubishi dealership. Someone used to bring in their manual trans montero with 260k miles often and it was in great condition. I loved that thing and have wanted one since.

First I've heard that they came with a 4g64 though! Now I really want one!

I think I would rather build an outlander with evo parts.

we have an 02 Sport v6 that's pretty clean, but i agree they're not too common anymore
