    Fixed the link. Off the main page, go to Project 4g64. To answer your question, Yea it's the same 4g64 as ours. Several guys on club 3g are looking into or have done the DOHC head swap, which is what the article is about. Also, RRE has additional info on what is involved in doing the swap. Old news...

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    same motor different rotation, notice where the timing chain is and where the radiator hose is...that particular motor would fit well in a 6G or 7G Galant but not a 8G Galant at all.

    Yea Thanks Dave, I had forgotten about the reverse rotation. It's been a while since this was discussed. But yea, you're absolutely right. 180 degrees out of phase for the 8G.
