|
|
Search Gumtree for 1988 Shogan (sic) and you will find there is currently one for sale in Manchester, listed as a 2.5 V6. A check on the DVLA vehicle details confirms the engine size and the photo on Gumtree shows 6 (+1) ignition leads. Wikipedia shows a 6G73 engine that was a 2.5 V6, but only in use from 1990.
Any ideas what this engine is? And would it be an alternative power plant for an L300 (where 'power' might mean just that! ).
If I had £1200 and some space I'd be looking to get this 'Shogan' anyway - I really like the look of these early ones. _________________ 1992 L300 Super Exceed |

In 1988 the Shogun/Montero was fitted with a 12 valve 6G72 3L V6 engine. _________________

^ This is why I was confused - even on the DVLA records it is listed as 2500cc. Very odd. _________________ 1992 L300 Super Exceed |

An owner could of course have fitted a replacement engine.
The only way to tell would be to see which engine type number is cast on the block and check it against the chassis number / VIN plate. _________________

Maybe - in which case, whatever it is, it could be an alternative power plant for an L300 (I'm assuming it's mated up nicely and working with the original transmission). _________________ 1992 L300 Super Exceed |
