Not without a ton of custom fabrication. Just build your existing 4g63 instead of buying a stock evo engine for close to the same price.

If you have never noticed, the timing belt on the engine you are thinking about is on the passenger side, instead of drivers side. No big deal right? Only if you then do not realize that the transmission is on the opposite side as well.

No it won't work, the evo 9 motor is rotated 180 degrees compared to ours. Plus you can build our motors to similar power levels as the evo.
