Gah, beat me to it. Sorry, I forgot that they have the 4g64.
Did you know that folks are swapping your 7 bolt block in favor of the 6 bolt blocks? In other words the block is mated with the 4g63 head, hint, hint.
Is your motor on the driver's side or passengers?

If you really wanted less headaches, you could also just sell what you have and buy a GS-T Spyder and go from there or just sell it altogether and buy a GSX

i think its on the drivers side "i will have to look"
i am in canada there isnt many of GSX'S around, in fact i havent seen one yet.

Oh that's right. Canada does have the Eagle Talon TSi AWD though
What you will or may find though are TSi AWDs with an Eclipse body kit. I've seen them (in pics).
I'm pretty sure that your motor is on the driver's side like the 4g63s, otherwise folks would have issues getting the block to work with 4g63 heads.

Give me a moment and I'll post it for you. Well, as much as I can find on it anyway.
Do you know about the AWD swap for the FWD cars, to include yours too?

no i didn't at all. sounds like it will be alot more work. or will it all bolt right up ?
this is gonna be a fun project. just need the time to do it

Just starting so give me a bit of time, but here's the thing that you were thinking of doing initially. I hope you're registered there.
4g64 swap to 4g63 ...and here's that
AWD swap. Your car already has the drivetrain tunnel, you just need to use an AWD Talon for your parts source. Yes, it is more work, but there is a very small handful of AWD turbo Spyders, just like there's a small handful of AWD turbo Avengers, lol.
It is a lot of work, but man, wouldn't it be badass to have an AWD Spyder! I think it would, lol. Plus, you don't have to do it all at once.
Ok, let me find the 2.4 conversion.

Well, that was weird. Do you see that asterisks in your quote. The site was bleeped out, that's why it didn't work. I guess there's a keyword bleeping program running and it's one of the words, lol.
Thanks for the comment. My dsm buddies still can't get over the AWD Avenger, lol. Especially, when we're cruising around.

i am wondering what the chances are of soneone on this board having a full motor the same as mine for sale that i could just buy and then just do a simple motor swap.

Ha, that's all that you need right there, lol. I was looking for that link on another site to include the comments from other folks. It seems when you're not looking for something cool, it pops right at you. Then there's the times when you are looking for that same thing and it just doesn't want you to find it, lol.
I'm going to keep trying though, I know it's somewhere. It was a very useful thread btw, it's something that should be seem by all DSM'ers anyhow. It's another option for our 4g63s.

You've got a pm btw.
Because you live in Canada, you would probably be better off finding another one in country. Shipping over the border will cost you and will be a headache.

if i found one that already had the turbo head swap and pistons rods and everything already done it would be worth it.
it would save me a ton of time , don't get me wrong i would love to do this bild up myself but i could only get a shop for 2 to 3 days in a row a week.
and i would be able to sell the motor i got now to help re coupe the shipping fee's
i got the pm thanks, i am gonan have to register and have a look at the comments

Yeah, it cost that much for someone to do the work and to come from a shop like Slowboy, lol. I'm still searching though, lol.
