If you want to use the GS shell put a 420a motor in it. You will be in a world of hurt trying to make the 4g63 fit in the GS. You would need all the wiring also as the 420a wiring is not compatable... I would start weighing other options unless you uave nothing better to do, with time and money anything can be done.

Unless you are real good at cutting and welding and have a ton of time it isn't going to happen. Find a turbo shell if you want a turbo car.

Wiring is different because its an entirely different engine and everything in the engine bay is located in a different place. Also not trying to be rude, but you could use some punctuation, LOL

. It would be wise to get the turbo shell (dsm's that came with the 4G63T, not the 420a). It will save you a lot of hassle, anger, time and money as the engine should drop right in. But if non of those are a constraint to you then its solely your decision.
