My friend is taken out his motor and is getting a crate motor and new head. So he his old turbo motor that he will let my buy off him for around 200. 108000 miles runs great no smoke. My question is about the install I have no idea on how to do the custom fab needed to swap a 420a for a 4g63. What exlatly do I have to fab?

Will the tranny just bolt in? How would the mounts attach to the car weld?
What I am thinking about doing is seeing if I can trade this motor for a 420a and just keep all the turbo parts i am getting for next to nothing and rebuilding the turbo(why not). I think it would probly be better then swaping the dam motors.

as of what ive heard and seen its not worth the time/money to swap the engine.. i have an idea you might concider.. take the turbo parts of the engine because that alone is probably worth the money you pay for it . and just part out the rest of the engine . the trade also sounds good ... i say just get your 420a engine turbocharged instead of a swap..
o well it your choice good luck with this project :smile:
