I was just looking around the net for a while and saw that a lot of the sebring/avenger crowd is dropping the 6g72 (3.0) into their cars. I know I saw a burned up 3000gt vr4 in a junk yard not too long ago. If this swap is going to be pointless, why not make it fun? I have my doubts about turbo clearance. It does appear that it is quite easy to do using a 3g eclipse's 3.0 into an avenger, so maybe it is possible.

If I am going to do all the work to fit a LS1 into it, I'd shove a 13B into it. I believe there is a tranny out of some 2.2 fwd mazda that would bolt up and keep it fwd. Just hooking up all the lines would be... well... an adventure...

vr4 engine and the stratus/eclipse 3.0 engine spin opposite ways, you would have to keep the trany with the engine you decide to go with..

but imagine 5 speed into reverse!!!...

What would be fun is a rwd avenger, if i ever get time and money i would LOVE to make my eclipse into a RWD.. (right wheel drive) i mean rear wheel drive!

Good luck with that tranny for the 6g73. Those things are piles of trash.

True that x 10 PIECES OF SHIT

I second that. I have a 98 Venge with the 2.5L. Worst auto I have EVER had to drive.

Other than that, I love the thing. I would look into just leaving the 420a in there. the 6g73 doesn't produce that much more power than the 420a. And if it's your mom's car, who cares? Leave it.

I am going to try to keep the stock automatic from the Talon. Is that going to be an issue later?

Will that even bolt up to the motor?

Those motors are worthless. We have had to put 3 new ones in cars at my shop. All under 70k miles. You would have been better off with a shitty 7bolt.

7 bolts are not even bad, plenty of people run them over 400hp without problems. sorry for being off topic.

I would say do an evo 9 swap and get the mivec to work, now that would be a baller set up. You could safely say that your the only eclipse with variable valve timing and then make it rwd rather easy by using an eclipse rear end and a custom driveshaft. :D super pimp balla man
