mitsubishi had nothing to do with the 2.2 or 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engines in those cars.
if it has a 3.0 liter V6, then it is a mitsubishi engine.

yeah, I'm interested in the Mitsu/Mopar relationship too. anybody know when Mopar stopped using Mitsu engines? Got any info on swaps/transmission compatibity? I need to take a look at dodge transmissions, see what changes they have made since the mid-80s.

Mopar STILL uses Mitsu parts and engines. As do quite a few other companies.

These are mitsu motors used by Chrysler/dodge. These are not motors developed jointly, but total mitsu motors
1.4 G12B
1.5 G15B
1.5 4G15
1.6 4G32
1.6 G32B
1.6 DOHC

hey, thank you! Woohoo! I do have a Mitsu engine in my minivan!

I've been doing some reading up on this.

Know anything about the transmissions? That's the next step. I have to assume though that if Mopar is using mitsu engines, I'm guessing they are also using mitsu transmissions.

ummm that statement isn't entirely true, dodge in their infinate wisdom paired alot of the mitsu motors with dodge transmissions.
