Re: eclipse to evo drivetrain swap

The motors sit differently between the EVOs and the GSX. Trans is on passengerside on the GSX, and drivers side on the EVO. You would have to redo all the mounts, sub frame and a ton more just to get the motor in. Better bet would be using a 95-99 n/t model with the 420a (which includes the RS, GS, and ESi FYI) and drop in there.

There is a post in the members section where someone has gotten the motor in and shown some things that need to get done. Been no updates on that so not sure on status.

Why not just get a GSX and build the motor instead of doing all the "swapping."
