Evo 8 swap

[tenzoR]

Hey i heard the evo 8 swap is possible for the eclipse gs and rs with little to no motor mounting. I just wanna know how much the whole set up would cost including installation. and dont say id be better off buying an evo because im clearly not gonna do that. i think this would be a sick future plan.

It can be done..But the motor and trans are probably worth more than your car..And for that price you could alwas just buy a gst or gsx...I just really don't see the point honestly..

It wasn't in the wrong forum- it was moved to the Graveyard as we've had this discussion in the past which normally ends up in a 5-page argument. Refer to your other thread for reinforcement.

Can it be done? Yes. Easily? No. Expensive? Very.

You'll need the entire drivetrain so unless you have a wrecked Evo VIII and plenty of fabrication skills at your disposal, you're wasting your time.
