#1839, "RE: Evo engine swap?" In response to In response to 7 Jul-13-05 04:40 PM by 992gnt
The Evo 8 engine is spun around the right way if you're talking about dropping it in a 2gnt. The front mount goes through the t-belt cover just like a 420a. The tranny mounts are also similar in their general location. It would be more like doing a 2.4l swap on the 2gnt than putting a GS-T engine in a 2gnt. The tranny would be the biggest issue - I don't think there is enough room for the t-case in there.
And only 600hp out of an Evo? I can point you easily to a half dozen or more putting out over 600hp. There are a several over 700hp as well. It's still a 4g63 after all.
