Im looking into a GS to GSX convertion, yes i know ppl say go buy a GSX that would be easier yes but not want i want. GS has the 420a thats the engine i want so im going to convert my GS into a GSX, instead of converting a GSX engine to a 420a.

TRE has an awd tranny that works with fwd. Would i just need to buy that then an awd parts car and pretty much go from there. Or would i have to do alot more then that?

Will it work with that engine? A friend of mine said he thought that you needed a side mounted engine for awd.
 
Well, the main problem is that a 420A is not gonna bolt onto 4G63 tranny. And even if you could, the way that the 420A engine sits, the transmission is on the wrong side of engine bay. These are just the basic problems...wouldn't be worth the effort.
 
Like it was said, the 420A is the reverse of the 4G63 in it's orientation AND rotation.

Forget it. Buy a GSX or build a FWD 420A car.
 
ahh damn that sucks
thanks guys
guess ill just build my fwd up and forget about my whole awd idear =)
take it easy
