Yeah. I'm expecting it to take me a whole weekend. The only part I'm worried about it maneuvering the trans once it comes off.

The quote from R/T did not include fluids ... so they want > 1200. I'll call the dealer and figure out the details, last time I was able to haggle a bit.

go to junkyard and pull a 4g64 from galant or eclipse for $200.

As Thai said, go pull a 4g64 core. You'll need a few simple things to make the Evo 8 head work, but it's nothing crazy thats not already mass produce.
