this galant 2001 v6 engine will fit a 2003 galant i4 with no other adjustments right? i wouldnt need to change the transmission or the axles or anything right?

WAY cheaper and easier to trade your 4 cylinder in for a 6.

thats right. 8g's are going now for a dime a dozen.

not to mention that the 6cyl would more than likely work better and be more reliable if it was originally in the car than it would be if it was from a swap

i woulda guessed that a galant to galant swap would require less mods for it to work than with an evo swap. the engine is definately cheaper anyway. and its better to have a stong base than to supercharge a weak motor and have it break apart later and having to buy a new one anyway

I dunno what you're implying - but the I4 is by no means a weak motor and takes to FI very well.

the one thing everyone has overlooked..but in swapping the v6 into the i4 requires getting the subframe from the v6 and welding the 2" spacers to the chassis of the i4 inorder to get the subframe to seat flush. All in all its a pointless swap, like someone mentioned do the SDS.

At least you get bragging rights that your boosted vs just saying "guys I have a v6" https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Bro th reason you would put a EVO motor is to BOOST it!, Forget about what it has stock.

who here in the chicago market works on evo swaps into the i4???? been talking to a mistu mechanic and he's telling me that theres alot of custom work that needs to be done and its sounds imposible. in a way i dont believe him, but then again he's running one of the fastest eclipse in the midwest. HELP! NEED MORE POWER!
