nay sayers or people who just want to chime in to say hes wasting money can save their breath. Just sit back and watch the project.

Is it all mounted up yet? Or just sitting in there with the hoist? How are the mounts? Do they line up close?

[monicle]

the drivers side mount bracket needs to be moved forward about 1.5" today Ill be grinding out the welds and repositioning it. the rear mount needs to be moved by about .75"

[SilvrEclipse]

Looks good so far. I am interested to know how much everything cost?

[Blackcrow64]

I can't even imagine the amount of money being spent here and it'll only be FWD in the end... Unless you plan on tackling an AWD setup from the evo for it also?...

[david-b]

I think in the original thread it's going to be AWD. Taking from GSX IIRC

man...that will be one sick beast when its alive man. Post up vids when you guys are done. NICE!!

[showstopperz]

Very interesting. Keep us updated

[<Lucci>gs]

yea man keep it updated


i actually cant wait to see how its gonna look and run

[david-b]

What are you going to do with the block from the 420a? Interested in selling it?... more specifically to me?

[monicle]

ok so weve got to make some modifications to the axles. what we had hoped would only be a mildly difficult job of swapping over the outer cv joint we found will not be quite so mildly difficult, different spline counts (25eclipse 27evo) tomorrow or saturday we take them to an axle shop to have them modified. Updates on that after they are ready. Once we have the axles in we can set the motor to rest in its final position.

As for the 420A yeah Im quite sure he'd be willing to let it go for a very reasonable price.

anyone happen to have a link to an online factory service manual for the evo? need to get wiring schematics for the under hood fuse box.

[gthompson97]

What year Evo and exactly what schematics do you need?

[monicle]

03/04 and Im looking for the wiring from the fusebox to the inside of the car. That would be a great help.

I just need the bottom end. Hell I'll even take it stripped down.
