Resolved 2GNT Eclipse GS 4G63T swap

[ttravis88t]

So, I’ve owned a GST for a while now but the body of the car is so bad i simply don’t want to spend the time and money needed to get it into a better shape. But, I have a buddy selling his SUPER clean Eclipse GS for really cheap and it only has like 70k miles, and already has all the cosmetic and interior mods one could ask for, so, getting to the point, I want to swap my motor and trans into this GS, from anyone who has done this swap, how difficult is and is there anything I would need to fab to make it work? Considering I already have everything I need from my GST it should be a simple swap by just pulling everything over from my current car. Anyone have any input? Is there a guide for this swap anywhere on the internet?

If it's a Spyder GS you might stand a chance swapping the 4G63T for the 4G64 but if it's a normal US GS, swapping the 4G63T in to replace a 420A is a serious challenge. The only one I've seen that was successful amounted to replacing the front clip.

It will be a project as the gs likely has the 420a motor, motor mounts are different and such. So it will take some fabbing. I'm not too familiar on which NA yrs and models came with the mitsu 2.4 motor. If its the 2.4 it will be a simple swap everything over affair...

Assuming its a GS coupe it should be easy, just follow this guide; https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/4g63-swapped-eagle-talon.496614/page-5#post-153855908

All you need to do is cut off the front clip at the firewall and weld your GST front clip on.

Yeah sorry for not being specific. It is a U.S. GS coupe (not a spyder) with the 420a

It's quite a job to be fair.
