If you have issues finding parts here and there, I can get used evo 4 parts no problem. They're pretty common over here and not overly expensive. PM if you get in a bind.

Nice, the dude is in my town San Fran. Well I wanna see this get in to gear.
Well I know I can find a Mirage for $500 or less.
Buy a front clip for 4k shipped.
get the her running first then go awd later. It is easy to work on the rear with a lift.
All the parts you need off a evo I can source you here in the Bay asap. I also can help you out with any fabrication, wiring. I did all my wiring over and over again just to clean it up, so I am pretty well comfortable with the circuits

Once I get out, I'm jumping straight into this project. Until then I'm making a checklist for everything I need. I'll determine what parts I wanna use also, so my list will be changing due to parts I should use and what I shouldn't use. Once I decide on my final checklist, I'm gonna try to hoard all the parts and get em before I start, so hopefully that'll make the process faster. I'm trying to get the final checklist before I get out, it's alright though I have plenty of time. but yea man as soon as I get this project started or decide on a final checklist I'll hit you up! ohh and would you happen to have pictures of your e5?

Yeah, AYC sucks. The E4 version can't handle any more than 300hp without grenading. Which transmission you use doesn't matter, which tcase you use does. I'm planning to run an Evo 4 tcase with an Evo 8 rear diff. The ratio's aren't the exact same, but it's so close it shouldn't matter. .005 off I believe. I've been told that Evo 4-9 RS rear axles are all the same length, so you should be able to use any of them.
Shiet if thats the case I'll go all E4 for the drivetrain: trans, dshaft, rsxfer case, rs axles, rs diff, and etc. I just wanna get a small feel of driving an e4

Looks pretty good. Only thing I can see that I would change is typically you buy the rear end all together from an importer so you shouldn't have to worry about buying all the separate little parts, and the other thing is the Evo 8 gauge cluster would be a huge hassle as it would have to be all custom work to make it fit and work. The E4 cluster is a direct swap out. 
It's what I'm using in mine.

Do you already have the car? There is a evo iv swapish here in Denver for sale. It needs the motor swapped and rear end. He has done all the exterior mods and the car has a fresh paint job.

. Thanks for the advice I guess I'll go with that if you dont mind. other than that im pretty much set for the engine swap and the exterior work?. Also for the whole rear end. would that directly bolt onto the mirage floorpan? or would I have to swap out with a E4 floorpan?
