I figured someone would get this done sooner or later. the evo motor swap is a whole lot easier than than that of the GSX or GST variety.

Its been done a few times EVO engine in a 2g ??- again + MIVEC DSM - DSMtalk Forums

Doesnt seem to hard if you leave it front wheel drive... hmm...This could be a new project.. Wonder what they do about the tranny.

They probably just leave it alone. The center diff is in the transfer case on evos so if you just ran without it it would be FWD. You can do it on DSM's too byt the center diff needs welded because its in the trans.
