4G64 2.4L into 1gb dsm...

You can put a 2g motor in a 1g if you don't mind the motor tilting back and forth a bit. :D

heh. Please keep the flaming out of this thread, I really don't have time for BS. I'm 28, a mechanical engineer and have been working on DSMs and cars in general for a long time, I'm not an idiot. This is just untouched territory for me and the info out there is very fragmented to specific swaps. Mostly 6 bolt heads on 4G64 blocks, swaps into 2g's, etc.

I'm going to check and be doubly sure its a 6 bolt, but that is what Lor told me.

If the engine you're looking at is the one in the Spyder GSX partout thread, yes it looks to be a 6-bolt by looking at the pictures. It will bolt up just like a 6-bolt 4g63. The difference is the deck is 6mm taller on the 2.4; yes your accessories will all bolt up fine. You can either use the 2.4 DOHC timing belt (94 Galant GS), or supposedly you can trim the tensioner for more travel and use a 2.0 timing belt. If you use your 2.0 cam gears, they'll either be advanced or retarded 1/2 a tooth; not that big of a deal (I would probably retard both of them if you're running stock cams).

You should really do some research, this topic has been covered approx 9000 times since 2001.

soon to be one more! valuable input mr. clutch.

The short answer is yes, it appears it will work, and it's one of the best mods out there. I keep eyeing the 2.4 shortblock in the corner of my garage and thinking how much fun it would be with my current wimpy setup.

I just came across this. Did you get the block in yet?

[s1ngletracker]

Lor, I had a little delay in the project. The rebuilt head I bought had to be shipped back into the machine shop I bought it from (In Virginia) to be fixed. I got it back a few days ago and the engine is now assembled. Probably will go in this week or next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes!

[turboimports]

Yes, update us! Would be nice to see what other people can do with the parts.
