Engine bays are nowhere near the same from the 420A to the 4G63. Custom mounts are going to need to be made and more then likely welded into the chassis to mount that motor/trans. You may even need to modify the subframe to clear as the 4G63 mounts 180 degrees opposite opposed to the 420A.

Build a wicked 420A, I've seen a few turbo'd ones and they're quick. Plus it will probably cost less than trying to swap in a 4g63

thanx for your help i think me might do a rwd set up on it. cant let it go to waste

I think the best thing to do would be to put a good motor/tranny in it, and sell it, then use your profits to buy the car you really want.

tufte and i one day discussed a srt4 motor do some research on that

[Joel]

didnt the GS have a N/A 4g63 and the RS had a 420a? which do you have?

2g didn't get a N/A 4g63, the 1st gen did though.

[BomexE]

i think the rs and coupe gs' got the 420a and the conv gs got a 2.4 i could be wrong though the gs might have the 2.4 also
