Agreed. I had one in my 87 caravan. It had all kinds of problems but
mostly the carburator.

When I got rid of it, the timing chain had started slapping. At least I
think it was a chain in that. I don't believe it was a belt.

My current van is a 90 caravan with the Mitsu 3.0. It has 192,000 Miles
on the current engine (275,000 on the van) and it runs VERY quiet and
smooth. No complaints.

There were also a lot of Mitsubishi cars imported here and badged as
chrysler corp. cars -- Plymouth Arrow, Sapporo, Dodge Challenger, Plymouth
Champ, Dodge Colt, Dodge Raider, Dodge Colt Vista, and the Dodge Conquest.
Back in '87, my grandparents (strictly bought American cars) bought a
Raider 4x4 thinking it was a true Dodge. I broke the news to them. They
felt like they were conned.
