Your transmission will not work. The engines out of GS-T/GSX's are complete different engines than yours - you have a Chrysler 420a, whereas his is a Mitsubishi 4G63.

This engine will not be a straight bolt-in on your car. There will be much work involved in installing it, and you will need to find a donor car to pull the subframe and various other parts from -- everything from ECU and wiring harness to engine mounts.

Unless you are an experienced fabricator and have a large supply of money and time on your hands, I would avoid attempting a project like this.
