Still possible to get new engines?

[Corbic]

I'm just wondering if any of you know if its still possible to get new engines for these cars.


edit: Also, was the Eclipse made in the USA as well, same plant as the talon?

i remember a thread about someone at a tech school and Mitsu donated them 3 brand new 4G64s. I believe that Mitsu might have a few laying around in storage

Also yea ALL ECLIPSES, TALONS, AND LASERS were made in Normal, Illniois why do u think they call them the triplets

I've been told now, by a few dozen people the reason why the Eclipse normaly fetchs a few more bucks then its brothers is because it was made in Japan and thus didnt suffer from poor quality union labor. I found that hard to believe, Corollas and Geos are made side-by-side, I had littel doubt Talons and Eclipses where made side by side.

LoL they fetch more money because Mitsubishi is a "japanese" name while Chrystler and Eagle are "american". Look at the door sticker of any Eclipse, Talon, or Laser they were ALL built in Normal, Illniois

I think Mitsubishi is supposed to provide parts and engines for 10 years after a car goes out of production.

my friend was telling me he was f'ing around with mitsu and he asked how much for a brand new 4g63 and he was quoted 7000 or something like that......zero miles, could be bullshit, just havent come around to checking it

7grand?!?! That can't be right. New 1.8 ii-vt or whatever from Toyota is 5,100 including the install. (Celica GT-S engine).

They fetch more money because there are a lot of stupid people spreading such idiotic information.

Some are afraid of Talons because "Eagle" isn't around anymore. As though it was ever anything other than a Chrysler badge.

Nothing "people" or "a friend" tells you about a DSM is true.

Probably like $3000 for the engine and $4000 to install it.
