1G Spyder 4g64 SOHC 2.4 in a 1g has it been done?

[Stevens Talon]

So I looking to see if anyone has swapped a 2g 2.4 4g64 SOHC in to a 1g?

I know sounds crazy but asking because I have a 94 Talon with the 1.8 4g37 and its down (picked up as a project that way) and of course parts support is poor for them. I know a 4g63 swap is simple I've already did that to my other Talon but finding 4g63 motors around here is near impossible and if found, high priced, how ever 2g Spyders show up more often and looking at them the 2.4 4g64 looks like a very close fit.

Close fit yes but 2g blocks have no motor mount bosses front or rear. Thats why you see 1g motors in 2gs but not 2g motors in 1gs ever. It has been done but takes alot of fabrication. It is not a drop in.

Thanks for the reply. I fiured there would be some fab work needed that i wouldnt be to scared of. I was courious if there was any info or a build thread of it being done that would answer questions like did the spyders have a manual trans that would work or will the nt 1g trans bolt tobthe 2.4 . Axel differences ect. I know the idea seems crazy but just courious of options if the 4g37 cant be fixed and i cant find a 4g63

They are out there. In my opinion it would better to pay a premium for a 4g63 than trying to make a 2g motor fit.

I agree a 4g63 would be better just looking at all options as i lobe the 1g cars but finding 4gs local is near impossible and when the do show up there wamting $1000 plus for a nt and $3000 plus for a turbo

I think the rear mount bosses are still on the spyder 4g64... or so I heard someone mention that, so you might only have to fab up a front roll stop mount to get it to work.
