Lets hope its gettin easyer soon over here in Norway to get custom building as that legal :( I want AWD :(
LOL
It needs alot more than that. It needs EVO knuckles, EVO front axles, a transfer case, a shit load of cutting and reinforcing the front subframe, cutting the firewall, relocating the steering rack and re-routing the lines and another PITA mounting the driveshaft. If I recally correctly you would need to source the carrier bearing assemblies from a wrecked EVO and the mounts. The mounts are not sold, so you need a wrecked EVO and you need to drill out the mounts from the bottom, shim them correctly and weld them onto the 8g floor pan. Im gonna be able to give Noel some help on this one, because if all goes as planned, this time next year I will be doing the swap as well, that is, if I dont get the time I want running it FWD.

blah it's not that bad. :)
brian is right though there's more details to it. more than likely though i will be running a tubular front crossmember to help with the space issues.
whenever that is lol.

Yeah when I get mine made I will have them make a 2nd one for you. It will take alot of the guess work out. over the winter im gonna go to the junkyard with a sawzall and find a bare 8g shell with no front crossmember before it gets crushed I wanna go to town cutting up the firewall and see how many layers their are on the center and how thick each one is. In hindsight i wish I though of that before you got rid of the white car.

hey brian i wonder if we could get away with taking the BFH to it instead of cutting up the firewall....how much clearance are we talking about? 2-3 in?
it worked on the starion lol.

No,
i'm certainly positive it would require a RBFH.

HAHAHAHAHA...thats so gangsta....
Honestly, the part of the firewall that needs to be cut im pretty sure is about 3 or 4 seperate layers, so even a RBFH isnt gonna do much, maybe if you put the car on a jig and turned it upside down so you could swing like a lumber jack, there may be a chance, but im gonna lean towards no. We are probably taking about 4" or so.

Has this been done before on a Galant? Its going to be cool when there is a blueprint for doing this.
It hasnt been done yet, but im sure in the next year either Noel or myself will make it happen.
