    Engine Conversion Question

    As I have a spare engine lieing around, I was wondering what I could do with it, then I had the glorious thought of putting it into an Evo shell.

    Has anybody looked into this at all in the past? I know enough about conversions to know I don't know very much about them What do I need to take into consideration if I am to get serious about doing this? Are there safety considerations such as changing the weight and balance of the car, how things all fit and so on.

    it would be an interesting project but think it would be a major struggle to get the 6a13tt lump in there with the two tubs .

    Also power wise the evo engine is far far easier to get more power out of .

    People have put them into non EVO shells of the 95-01 shape Lancer, so it shouldn't be too hard.
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason
