4G63 into OZ Lancer
The 5G series of Lancer uses the F5M40 series of transmissions, which for reduced manufacturing cost have deleted the secondary transfer shaft that exists in the F5M20 and 30 series transmissions.
This is why the OZ Lancer has the engine sitting on the RHS of the engine bay, whereas all previous models have the engine on the LHS.
This means that the OZ 4G94 has intake and exhaust manifolds are on the opposite sides of the head compared to the 4G63 DOHC ex Eclipse/Talon.
The 4G94 does not rotate in the opposite direction to the 4G63 or any other Mitsubishi engine.
In short, you can't fit a 2000 or earlier 4G63 into an OZ, even though it will mate to the transmission. If you can get a late model JDM 4G63 with the intake and exhaust switched (eg an EVO engine) it can be done.
Using older Eclipse/Talon parts would require using the older transmission too. ie extremely MAJOR surgery to all parts of the engine bay, mounting points, axles ...
