You would need a new bonnet since the 4G63 is a bit taller than a 4G9X. Other than that you would need to make an ekstra engine mount to stabilise the engine during hard acceleration. As for the gearbox, you could either lock the differential in the standard Evo 5 box (if you wont do an AWD conversion), or use a FWD box. Your standard Mirage wont fit, but i cant remember which gearbox will fit. For the earlier Mirages (´92 - ´96) you would use a Galant GTI (4G63 N/A) gearbox, but yours a later model, so the engine is turned 180.

A good thing would be to have one that can fix the wirering loom for you, as you would proberly get a RHD version, so the wires wont fit.
