Repost, and it's an Evo 7 in Saudi Arabia I think. Waste of an AWD platform if you ask me.

oh my bad it said 9 but i didnt notice the wing. its waste yeah but pretty cool. you wouldnt think an LS1 would fit but i guess they made it work. the engine bay looks funny with all that extra room.

4g63 estimated weight with turbo is 320lbs

ls1 estimated weight 390lbs

gigantic transmission and the enlarged radiator required to cool the horsepower. figure you'll have to run sans ac cuz the motor is too big. figure you'll have to make or borrow another oil pan cuz the subframe is in the wrong place. figure you're sans a transfer case because you're less 2 driving wheels. figure you need more axle strenth and more driveshaft strength.

i'll take two.

seriously though i love ls1 swaps, i wanted to do one in a miata... but miatas come with solid rear rotors with no hope in hell for otherwise. then i found the jimlab subframe for doin' it in a 3rd gen rx7...

now in an evo... this is just insane.... i'd wanna do it but... it's just not as magical as the other swaps.
