* Limited Diesel Options: Mitsubishi Mighty Max trucks from that era were primarily gasoline-powered. While some markets might have offered diesel options, they were not common in the US.
* Engine Compatibility: Swapping in a diesel engine requires extensive modifications, and you'll need to consider factors like engine size, transmission compatibility, mounting points, wiring, and fuel system integration. This is a complex and potentially expensive project.
* Regulations: You'll need to be aware of emissions regulations in your area. A diesel engine from another vehicle might not meet current standards.
To get the best advice, I recommend:
1. Consult a Mechanic: A qualified mechanic can assess your Mighty Max and recommend the best course of action. They can evaluate the feasibility of a diesel swap and help you find compatible engines.
2. Research Online Forums: Look for Mighty Max forums or enthusiast communities where owners might have discussed diesel conversions.
3. Check Parts Catalogs: Online parts catalogs (like RockAuto or others) can sometimes list compatible engines, but remember that compatibility is not always guaranteed.
Remember:
* A diesel engine swap is a significant undertaking.
* Make sure you have the skills and resources to tackle this project before diving in.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions.
