Longitudinal 4G63?
Anybody know if there are any Mitsubishi models that used a longitudinal 4G63? Reason for asking is that I'm considering a 4G63 EVO engine for a project that needs a longitudinal engine and RWD and I would like to know if there is a gearbox that would work for that setup?
Cheers,

Hello,
The easiest way of making this work is to use a 4G64 block (wide housing) and use a Starion transmission. This combo will bolt on together and you can get a custom drive shaft from numerous places. Good luck, sounds liek a fun project.

David suggested a gearbox from a pickup called “Mighty Max”, there is no car sold under that name in Europe as far as I know but it might be called something else here. Anybody that has any experience with that gearbox?

The best part of the Evo's engine is the turbo-- the block and internals, though strong, are nothing spectacular. Neither is the stock engine-management system. There's nothing wrong with them per se, but there are probably other options (like the Gen 1 DSM) which are cheaper and just as good IF you are replacing the turbo anyway.
But, if you can get the complete Evo engine, turbo and ancilliaries for cheap ... go for it!!!

Behold the Mighty Max:
It was made by Mitsi around 1989 to 1995 roughly. Im sure you could just get a tranny shipped from the US or Japan if they arent in Europe.
