Long story short, I need a complete drivetrain for my 2003 Evo8. I found a great deal on a local JDM Evo7 swap (complete long block, tranny, tcase, ecu, etc)

Is there any complications I should consider? My understanding is that I'll need a usdm wiring harness for LHD, and the ecu may give me problems during emissions inspections. Anything else?

Will my stock (8) rear diff work with the (7) transmission?

Thanks for any help guys! And before you guys smack me for not getting an 8/9 swap... This is very available and very affordable, and will meet my needs! *I hope*

Bump anyone know anything about evo7s?

The 7 is a Right-Hand-Drive car. Lots of headache if you want it converted to LHD.

How so? The only LHD/rhd difference would be the engine harness?

I have a LHD Evo 8 in need of a drivetrain, and found a rhd Evo 7 drivetrain cheap. I'm trying to see what issues would actually arise.

This question has been discussed many times before on this forum. And we all ended up with pretty much the same conclusion - that it's not worth the effort.

Can you point me in the directions of these discussions?

I can get a complete 7 drivetrain for a few thousand less than an 8. What I'm really curious about is shat Hassel am I not anticipating??
