1996 Engine Swap
Greetings all,
I have a question concerning an engine swap in a 1996 Eclipse. He has a 1996Eclipse spyder convertible with a 2.4L 5 speed and the tranny is messing up. We have found a 1996 Eclipse hard top with a 2.0L (blown motor) but with a good 5 speed tranny. Can the 2.4 engine be put in the hardtop using the hardtop tranny without modification. I have confidence in the regulars on this forum and I know nothing about Mitsubishi's, which is now apparent LOL. Thanks in advance for any help. Thanks, Rick |

It be a good amount of work too that would sure require some experience with motor swaps. I don't know a ton about the swap, try researching it. Couple links to get you started: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/420a...5-eclipse.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/4g64/ http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/archiv...p/t-67296.html http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newb...-problems.html http://www.google.com/search?q=2g+ec...ient=firefox-a

I dont think I would put a lot of trust in the people at auto parts stores to tell me if a swap is possible or not. Most of them cant even find me the right part
