Has anybody done or have done any research on swapping in a evo8 drivetrain into a 3gen eclipse (4cyl)?

The head can be and maybe the motor as well. but that isnt worth it really either well not the block the head is better flowing for a turbo

no the head of the EVO is better the block of the EVO isnt worth buying for a eclipse. reason is you can build up the 4G64 to be more powerfull at the cost of the EVO block

the Eclipse frame is not the same as teh EVO so the drivetrain will not bolt up

for the drivetrain?? it wont happen lol. It will cost too much to even do logically. youd be better off buying an EVO at that point

There's alot that needs done to do the drivetrain. Remember he didn't say it WASN'T possible just not a financially feasable idea. Alot of custom metalwork will need to be done to fit the drivetrain in there from the Evo.
