evo 8 head with 420a block

My final note to this thread is that if you've built the block and are running a turbo setup than I'm assuming you have low compression pistons strong rods etc...

Making 400hp on a built 420a is as easy as on a 4g63, I've worked on both and currently own a 420a turbo. The factory head on a 420a has just as good air flow, and even better than a srt4. So the idea of changing it is unnecessary. Cams/Gears, springs/retainers, port & polish, maybe some valves if you feel is more than enough for 400.

Before constantly dreaming about how fast you can go, really think about it. Make a parts list break it down. You got to plant the power too, your going to need tires suspension etc...

There's no reason to say swap the motor in a 420a if your happy with fwd. If you want awd than sure consider options. But I think the op was just going off on a huge tangent with the idea of a evo head and has received enough info on the fact that it can not be done.
 
Why not just do a Evo 4G63 in the Non turbo Eclipse?

Because no one has ever thought of doing this. You sir might be a pioneer for our platform.

But in all seriousness, Type in "evo swap, 420a" on google and see how many people have actually done it with more proof than a picture.
