Hi I have a 1995 Eagle talon ESI but i wanna swap the 420a and put in a 4g63T with the awd axils and tranny but I m not sure if thats possible. I think with as long as I use the ECU from the 4G63 engine it should work. I still have my doubts I would just like to know around how much that would cost me I know it will be over 2k easy but i would still like to know what other things are required for it.

It will cost you way more than 2k just to get everything done right. You would just be better off buying a GSX if you are really wanting the AWD. I mean, everything under your bay would have to be changed and for the cost and headache of doing the change would make me definately think twice. Hope this helps

its been done,can be done, but in most peoples opinion its not worth it unless you want a drag car with an eclipse/avenger body. you could slap on a stage 3 turbo kit and blow the doors off most cars around,

but yeah why do all that, its 99% easier to just sell your RS and buy a gsx.

This is the only time I agree with the DSMTalk guys. If you are dead-set on owning a 4G63, then sell your RS/GS and buy a GS-T/GS-X The swap is a lot of headache, the engine won't even drop right in you'll have to modify engine mounting points, rewire the whole car. The main parts alone will cost you over $2k, let alone the little stuff, and the fabrication needed.

The only who ever cme here and said he did it, sold the car minus the engine because he couldn't get it to run right.

Is it possible? sure. I could put a V-10 in our cars and turn it into RWD with enough work and fabrication. But it's not worth the effort.
