No offense taken. You're the one who is about to render his DSM inoperable and be hating life soon. Sorry you hate the 420A. Granted, that's one of the most ignorant fucking things I've ever seen anyone post on this board, but you're entitled to your opinion. Likewise, you asked for ours. I think this is beyond stupid. Do you know how many people have come before you and said they had "Experts" to help them? Do you know how many people have come before you to state they are "Planning" to do this swap, but end up proving their plan was little more than to make a bunch of stupid posts on our forum asking people who neither have any experience in the swap, nor the interest in trying how to go about doing it before they start bitching and moaning and we have to ban their sorry asses? Do you and your experts have any fucking clue how you're going to mate that "free" 4G63 boat anchor you've got to a New Venture T-350? You make no mention of a Mitsu transmission. If you really want to destroy your car because of some foolish, ignorant hatred of the engine that powers the vast majority of the 2nd Gen DSMs on the road these days, then, by all means, go right ahead.

I understand what is involved with this swap, and let me change my statement to "I hate my 420A...", it might not even end up in my car. I could just start a project on a 2g GST/X, I'm not completely sure yet (I have read a lot of bad things about cars that have this swap)...I understand the complexity of the journey I'm about to embark upon. I never said I was going to destroy my car. I'm planning on building the engine and doing everything I can out of the car, I will always have my old components, if it doesn't work out I will swap them back before I do any permanent damage.
