And this goes back to the AWD vs RWD which I won't get into
If you want different don't swap a chevy, ford V8. That isn't different... It has been done way too much....
I think there are better swap engines for DSMs that haven't been discovered yet.
First look at how the engine sits. You would have to fab something up so that the engine would sit 90 degrees from where it usually sits. How about finding something that will sit in the same position? I don't think if you turned a V8 it would fit. So chop 2 cylinders off and look at V6s
What would work for a V6 maybe. Has anyone tried stuffing a Mitsubishi GT3000 engine into this thing? There is a lot more room in a 1G then a 2G so maybe it would work...
There is also the V6 that they use in the buick/pontiac that has a supercharged engine.
Swaping something from a VW?
I think Toyota has a nice V6 from a Lexus that is 3.0L (1mz-fe I think) that can be supercharged. It has been swapped into a MR2 so it has to be compact enough This would be my choice if I had to swap
I love the sound of a nice tuned V6 almost over a V8
And if you don't like the V8 or V6 or 4g63 what other I4 would you have under the hood? I can't think of any. I love that 4g63...
I am not arguing that swapping is a bad idea, just think of other possiblilities.
Not to steal away this thread but I like the Idea of swapping the 4g63 into other cars myself
Myself I am looking at this more

Then making it 4g64 powered because you can mate a RWD trans to the engine, bolt on a head from a 4g63 with turbo...blah blah blah .... and you would have one fast homebuilt car!
Also that RX-7 powered 4g63 was cool to look at.
