420a motor switch

ok since my engine is ass backwards to a gs-t. by the way its a 1996 rs eclipse. and i cant do a 1st gen swap. but my frineds dad has a lancer turbo that looks EXACTLY like my motor? would a swap with one of thoose be worth the money, or is it also a 7 bolt crank. and what would be the best way to go with my car? i cant trade it in so thats not an option. but i can get student loands and swap the motor...... any ideas??

Dunno about the lancer engine, what engine is it?
But I doubt it.

Lancer 2.0 will not bolt to cry. trans.
