will a evo 5-6 drivetrain fit in evo 7,8,9?
hey guys i was wondering if you can help me. im about to pick up a evo 8 with no motor,tranny, or t-case. i was wondering if i got a evo 5-6 front clip if i could use the engine trans and t-case out of that. thanks guys for your help!

The transfer case is entirely different on the 7/8/9 than the 5/6 AFAIK. Even the non-ACD ones are entirely different. Not 100% sure though.

Engine and trans yes , tcase is a no go. The center diff out put to the trans / tcase is the same so all you need is a 8 t case. The 6 has a different subframe so the tcase is different. We have a customer who has an EVO 6 TME. We swapped in an Evo 8 engine and trans since he blew his engine and trans but we had to keep the 6 t case.We could have made the 8 t case work with some fab work. Another problem was a few weeks after the swap he blew up the tcase(front diff) so we had a machine shop modify an Evo 8 tcase internals to work in a Evo6 t case. If it were me i would just try and get an 8 drivetrain it is a PITA when parts break on the EVO's never offered here in the States especially if it is a DD.

well i found out the the passenger side mount and trans mount are shorter on the evo 4. also the rear bracket is different. Not sure if it can be used but i used the 8 . I have the evo 8 rear bracket and the evo 8 front bracket but my front mount on the crossmember doesn't line up correctly. I was wondering if the rear mount is different in the evo 8 5spd and 6 spd ?
