There is only two guys on here that owns a colt GT and only one has the 4g63t swap. You might not get much help here. Best bet is to talk to the guys on www.4g61t.com. I know that people have swap in 4g63t into 89 DL but not AWD. You should just pick up a 89 GT and do the swap that way. It is going to cost you some money to do it the other way around. Here is something that is going to help you decide. To do a swap in a 89GT is going to cost you around 2-3k not including the car. Any how if you want a sleeper the 89GT is the a perfect one. If you can find a turbo scoupe that is a sleeper also. Most people have no idea what a 89GT CSM is. Trust me on this. They think it a honda until its to late. Can you tell I love Tegs. Good luck on your search.

I still have one of those AWD's rotting away on a farm. I also had the same idea as you. The engine should swap in pretty easily, but I think you are going to have to use the stock drivetrain. I have no idea how much power that could take. I would definately gut it to keep the weight at a minimum. I doubt it will take much more than 300hp though.

I haven't seen one to compare, but with most car companies, the 4dr sedans and wagons are basically the say layout mechanically. Just the roof line and rear gate are changed to make it a wagon.

Here's an AWD 4G64 Mirage. So it has been done. ;)

Yes an all wheel drive mirage has been done. I think he is refering to the wagon which is different from a two door hatch. Which I have not seen done yet or even herd of swapping in a 4g63t.

They're all pretty much the same thing. The video actually wouldn't load for me... I just assumed it was a wagon. ;) But it shouldn't make a difference.

Well, with those AWD Mirages and such they swapped in DSM drivetrain parts. I dont think a DSM drivetrain is interchangable with the AWD wagons. And I dont think they were made for the kind of abuse that DSM drivelines put up with.

The motor should be fairly easy to do. Every mitsu 4cyl interchanged back then. You just need the right mounts/harness etc.
