2G 2g 420a K-series swap

[Cameron Barela]

I know there are some threads. But i was recently given a 420a auto 2nd gen. Im not too familiar with them as i have always had 1g gsx/tsi's. But given the dying, expensive market, and the lack of reliability of mitsubishis (loved the 4g for years). i am considering alternate engine options as the car only has 114k miles and no rust. I was thinking of a k24a2 hybrid or a EDV(From the srt 4). Yes i know its a sin but i want it to be a plan b car for the track. Trying to go with little fabrication as possible.

I’m not sure there’s any option with little fabrication. A few people have done newer evo swaps.

At a minimum be prepared to cut and weld engine and trans mounts for any swap besides another 420a or a 2.4 Chrysler block (not including SRT). And then you have to figure out how to loom the wiring and where to mount the accessories.

Everybody seems so interested in ripping out the 420a and dropping something else in. You're better off just building the 420a or buying a GST or GSX. Save some ass pain.

i don't think you can swap in a SRT4 engine. As far as i know the 420a head won't bolt to the srt4 block and the srt4 head has the exhaust on the firewall side of the motor. I don't think it will clear.
