thats a godo question its a v6 at the jy near me but i think chassis code is the same
now before i get bashed , i have read the thread made a while back. but my question is If i can get the whole swap pretty cheap (longblock,ecu wiring harness, motor mounts etc... is it hard to swap out completely? reason im trying to do this is because im having tranny problems and it would be cheaper if i would just swap. DOes anyone know if the motor mounts would line up.?? i know the mounts are different but will the i4 mounts fall in place of the v6 body?? . thanks

IIRC there was fabrication involved such as cutting and welding, it wasn't just a drop in thing.
will be more trouble than the car is worth to go from stock v6 to stock i4 or vice versa. the 2 engines (6g72 and 4g64) do not fit the same or use the same mounts and there is also sub chassis fabrication required to swap. most cost effective would be to swap another v6 but if you are having tranny issues, why not fix the tranny or convert to 5 speed?
^^ Well said. Also if I remember correctly the member who downsized did so with the purpose of making more power to the more boost friendly I4. Not to go stock and gain mpg's or save on the cost of a tranny job.
I don't see how it would be cheaper to swap engins even if you can get the parts dirt cheap vs swapping trannys. But in any case being that I have done a 4 to 6 swap myself I can say that it's alot of work all the mounts fall into place on to the body except for the rear, the rear frame has to be swapped out and 2 pieces of metal have to be removed from the body's structure in addition to that the 2 bolts that go thru those metal pieces have to be removed and shorter ones have to be welded into place. Take into conciteration that the dash has to be removed to swap harnesses. Not worth the time and effort vs just doing a trans swap!
Iirc if I remember correctly

Maybe your broke maybe your old school
Me I'm a lil of both
it would be much cheaper to buy a 4 cylinder galant. I find them around me for 2-3k
Hope you have a welder and know how to use it!

Have ou even tried getting a 6g72 transmission at all?
Noob ????? well only in galants kind of... ive already swaped out plenty of trannys on galants and such ... IM an EVO 8 guy..Let me clarify somethings real quick .. the only reason i asked this question is beacause yes i can get everything from ecu longblock wiring harness ,everything crazy cheap with warranty... the reason i dont just want to replace just the tranny is beacause i keep hearing and seeing what POS trannys these are , and beacause to get it rebuild is around 1200-1500... so would i rather pay about 350 or would i pay 1500 on this car that i really dont care about more than my EVO...
"My Evo!! My Evo!! I much rather take a shot in the dark swapping 2 completely different motors because my Evo is so pretty! I just love my EVO!"
They just told you its not as easy as it sounds, faBrication including cutting and welding is needed, if you can pick up an engine and tranny complete with harness and ecu for $350 then a V6 tranny alone should be much cheaper.
Still doesn't make sence if you really don't care for the pos car than why would you not just swap trannys and call it a day then go thru that extent of a conversion plus fabrication! Clarify that!
Do you even know what parts you need to do the conversion or what's involved? Did you know that the v6 5 speed trans internals are pretty much the same as the evo's. You'd be better off making it a 5speed and call it a day...
