wheel drive bellhousing made for the 3.0L?? If yes, then what vehicles &
what years?? Anyone know if by chance the 4cyl & the 3.0L had the same
engine/bellhousing bolt pattern. That would make it very NICE & SIMPLE. I
like nice & simple.. Estimate or educated guess is OK!!

front suspension and convert it to a front wheel drive truck. It is do-able
but your fabrication skills better be up there with Mike's...

I get what you're saying but mitsu used that 3L V6 in tons of stuff. I bet
they put it in the trucks of the same era. You may want to check the
turbododge sites as well as the mitsu ones. I bet there's a a trans with the
right bellhousing out there. And if you're going for the fabrication trophy
you could machine your own adapter and use whatever trans you like.
