I have a 99 Eclipse GS. 150k on it. Its all stock and runs ok but smokes on start up. I know its probably valve guide seals but I came across a 1997 GST Spyder. I joined this forum because I'm hoping some one has swapped one of these in before.
I pulled everything (wiring harness and computer) and took pictures as everything came apart. With the engines on opposite sides, I cut out (by the spot welds) the engine and transmission mounting brackets and anything that looked different from the 99.
My main question now is. Will the mounts go in the same locations easily after I cut the ones out in the 99? I have been an auto mechanic for 30 years and have built 10 different GM hot rods, but this is my first 4 cylinder hot rod.
Any thoughts?
