Replacing Montero Engine - Question

http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/m_129527/tm.htm

I need some advice on whether to pull the engine and tranny together.  All I need to fix is the engine.  Only one reply in the Montero forum.

well what offroader said is what you thought. He said its easier to do it with the tranny entact.

Thanks for your confirmation!

if im right you use the same kinda engine as me?
 
3.0 liter V6.  might be a bit older
 
but if you just replaceing the engine.. you can keep the tranny still on the car it will be easier that way.
