I hope this is the right spot for this. I've got a buddy that was wondering if a evil IX 4g63 would fit into a 2g eclipse convertible gs. Make the convertible awd with the evil xi 4g63. He knows a friend that is selling the whole engine with trans, etc. Thinking about putting it in. I know that there is people that have put in the older eclipse 4g63 into a gs convertible and run awd but never seen a evil IX 4g63 into a eclipse gs converitble and run awd.
Can the process be done?
Thanks

can it be done? yes.... will it be hard?? yes... can you have just as fun of a car with the built 4G64 thats in there??? of course. I would say if you looking at spending that much, pull the 4G64 out of that car, build up the block and get a 63 head, and then a gt35r :D probally would cost about the same after everything is said and done imo

to get it to work will will need the engine mounts that are welded to a rs or gs hard top. then just put them into the your shell and take out the spyder mounts.
you will have to run the evo engine harness and ecu and splice in to the main eclipse harness to get all the gauges to work,ect. In the end you will have way to much money into the swap. just build the 2.4 bottom end and slap a 4g63 head on it and call it a day.
Just do it the easy way and that is coming from they guy that does crazy swaps

Anything can be done, but that motor/tranny setup is backwards from DSMs. You would also have to make sure there is room for that big Evo transfercase.

I think he wants to know if it will just bolt it. The answer is no. It can be fabricated to fit in there. Anything is possible with enough time/money/skill

I know that it can be done. My cousin will be willing to use up 10,000 for the swap to be possible. He has a cousin that will be selling the engine and everything that comes along with the engine for 3,500. How long will it take to get everything put in? He can't do it himself but will be willing to throw it at a shop to get it done.

I could find a thousand other things I'd do with that much money then what you are talking about.
