EVO 8 swap in a 8g Galant
I went to the local Mitsu dealer and looked at the new Evo 8. I was thinking maybe i can do a swap!! The engine mounts all look the same as my 99 2.4. I think the only problem would be the Evo's hugh intake manifold.I talked to my buddy who is a DSM master and he said that its possible. And he said that the tranny looks like the RS 3G Eclipse!! If you havent payed attention to the engine go back and take a second look!! I just might take that chance to try this swap!! Oh yea you know like i know that the engine wont be hard to get in about 2 or 3 months from now cause someone will total theres trying to show off or racing a Mustang or a Camaro!!!

I think that's why one of the members here said the Evo was a hack job, engineered with whatever parts they had laying around.

Who said the EVO was a hack job? That's ridiculous, it is certainly not a hack job. The car is an Evo 7 with minor updates. It may be decontected (no AYC and no adjustable diff) but it is no hack job. Anyone who would say that doesn't really know anything at all about the car.
As far as the swap, talk to Clay at galantspeed.com. I know he had dropped the motor in and that was his last update. He's already done/working on the swap, so he may be able to give some pointers.
