umm....you guys bought all the whole car -engine..why not just swap his engine into that talon wouldnt that seem like the logical thing to do? Especially since the talon already had cool stuff on it...

I would think swaping engines is easier than converting a FWD to AWD

Unless I find a junkyard AWD where I can get all the parts for under $1k(not including tranny since Im buying a new one from TRE anyways) I would do it....but otherwise, probably not.


we talked to him about it but it was more of a sentamental value thing I guess. Plus his car had things the other eclipse didn't. No sunroof, no rear wiper, new paint, black interior, has owned it for quite a number of years now.
