quoting me for truth? not everyone knows how to put to paper their thoughts, some of us can just read those mixed thoughts better. dont fret.

 

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.

 

my bad, i didnt mean to imply you couldnt comprehend it, speaking on more of a general note.

 

Ah, very well then. All good.

 

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.

 

Oh....I see, installing an engine + FWD transmission in the rear of the car makes it RWD...heh, *facepalm*

the "FWD" threw everyone off

 

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