so to keep things OT, he wants to know if theres a known conversion for the 7-bolt engine he has a good source on. hes not asking what different motor he should get to make something work with an old style trans, he wants to know what would bolt up to his 7-bolt. SMH people...

I'm quoting because my reply was directed to both of you. No need to get passive aggressive.

Well, as far as I know, there is no current selling conversion to make an EVO trans FWD. It can be done, but will be custom.

So really, his BEST option is to use/get a FWD DSM 4G63, regardless of the fact that he gets better pricing on the new motor.

But to directly answer his question, there is NO kit. The OP will have to do it custom, by welding the diff and other things.

Yeah, lock the center diff and you should be set.
