What can i pull a 4g54 out of to fit my pajero??

[Busta-P]

Hey all i am after a newer motor (just passed 512k) for my pajero, my question is do i have to get the motor out of a pajero or can i pull it out of one of the many Mitsubishi's that utilised the 4g54, eg a magna or do i specifically need one form a pajero??

thanks in advance.

A Sigma or Scorpion motor would be simplest, but probably getting rare. At least it's north-south.

A Magna motor is east-west, but can be made to fit without much hassle (if you're only mildly capable). Have a dig around on sigma-galant.com, as they discuss it there a reasonable amount.

I'm waiting for somebody to drop in a 4G64 from a Triton or Express van. It's supposed to be a very similar size and simple to make fit, but "simple" is a relative term. EFI, 16valve, more power with similar torque, reportedly significantly better economy. Do us all a favour, and report back.

I took your advice Scott and signed up to sigma-galant and i can tell you they are one helpful bunch of fellas, this is the breakdown as they have told me:

The motors (astron II) in the pajero's are wideblock 2.6 where as the magna's use what they call a narrow block, so according to the helpful lads/ladies of sigma-galant the only cars you can easily get (to fit without modification) engines from for the pajero are:

1. Pajero's
2. Late model Sigmas
3. Late model scorpions

but they must be a manual as the auto versions also use the narrow block.

apparently the rest have to be modified to fit.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction Scott.

Im pretty sure mazda b2600's ran the Mits wide block.
