I have this evo 9 sitting in my driveway with a hole in the block. what im trying to figure out is if the 7 bolt eclipse block is the same as whats in it now. im only talking about the actual block not internals. im just conserned with oil, water passages and the trans bolt pattern. I dont have anything apart yet and the internet is leading me in all sorts of directions. The owner wants to bore and stroke it out to a 2.3 if a block can be had cheaply. right now Ive sourced different motor configuration in about the 3-4k price range but id like to do a little better then that because thats just a short block. rod went threw the block at 70k.
