Need a engine for a small pickup, any help??

[tenbach79]

I got a 1986 Nissan 4x4 5spd 3.0 liter V 6 fuel injected pickup. Does anyone out there have a motor that would fit in this pickup or know of someone that might have one. Needs to be a good strong running motor. I can go up to a 1995 year. Needs to be some where near Eastren Colorado, I dont mind traveling some where to get this but not to Canada
I thought I might give this a try and see if I can get any help on this. I only paid $500 for the pickup on a farm sale, drove it all summer and now the motor is starting to give out on me, damm my bad luck I thought I had a great deal when I drove this little thing home but some times thats what you get.

There used to be a place in Provo, Utah called Japanese Engine Exchange that had motors. I don't know if they are still in buisness but ya may try looking them up!

Yeah I found a place in in CA that gets these motors from Japan. I looked all over in junk yards but all of them have 150-170 thousand miles. These from Japan have 40,000 miles on them. I thought that this thread might have someone that could help me out with this. Its just such a handy little pickup I just didn't want to park it and make a yard ordement out of it.
