<![CDATA[1G eclipse Q's]]>I figured some of might know or could point me in the right direction. I'm probably buying a 91 eclipse GS 5 speed that had a timing belt go, bent valves carnage etc. I believe it has the 420a 1.8 sohc how hard would it be to swap in an n/a 4g63? The original plan was to fix it then sell it, I still might but I started thinking about keeping it, to replace the impala as my dd, and getting what I really want.

Plus I can buy the parts for the 1.8 then sell it too. Thanks Matt.

I've never been to big into the DSM scene but with the amount of people that do that swap, i would imagine it isn't that hard.

Besides, if you had bothered to read, the actual question I asked was what would a swap to a 2.0 DOHC entail. I have access to parts for both for basically a song and dance.

#2, those cars sell all day for less than $1k.

Besides I probably won't keep it, I'm not a big fan of 4 cylinder engines or front wheel drive, but I'm basically being given this car that has a few mechanical issues and peeling clearcoat but otherwise is in good shape. I should at least double what it costs me to fix it if I sell it, since I have access to most of the parts ill need for next to nothing. The only way ill consider boosting it is if I decide to keep it, or if I can sell it for that much more.

either way your probably wasting ur money on a FWD model...
