Help with the engine swap

[zbert2]

new to the site. just needed help about an engine swap. I own a 1997 mitsubishi mirage and i did all the conversion for the body work for evo6 and the body paint is gunmetal. i finish all the interior and looks and. now im researching on a new engine and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. ### year of 4g63 engine would fit on my car? coz i know from 97 4g63 engine and below the intake is on the left side..and the 97 and up intake is on the right side. would a 97 and up engine fit on my car? or how bout a 4g61?

if im not mistaken o believe the 4g will not fit into the newer mirages...if im wrong i appologize but i was sure the early mirages were what had the same mounts and parts

oh..but ive seen mirage and ive heard ppl that i asked that a 4g63 would fit as long the intake is where my old intake was. yeh im really concentrating on the engine now the car is fully converted. i get a lot of compliments wen i drive on the street. but u guys think a 4g61 would fit? 4g61 i believe is the turbo engine for 1999 mirage but the intake is the on the left side...

4g61 is a 1.6 litre motor from the early colt/mirage. Its an identical motor appearance wise to the 4g63

Without shit tons of fab-work.....it ain't gonna happen. I almost bought a EVOIV clone Mirage, until i found out you can't do shit with the motor.
