engine swapped?
I recently bought a 2003 EVO VIII about like a month and a half ago, and I decided to conduct some maintenance and replace the sparkplugs/wires. I went to autozone to purchase spark plugs/wires and they found me replacements, but when I went to replace the parts they didn't fit. The wires were sticking out of the valve cover, and the spark plugs were completely different in size...now my friend thought maybe an engine swap was conducted on the car, so we took a look inside and found the model number of the engine which was a 4g63. The spark plugs we had to buy were NGK BKR5EIX-11 for them to fit, and we still haven't found wires to fit yet.
TLDR; DO I HAVE A SWAPPED ENGINE???
Thanks

I had the same problem with autozone too. They don't carry them for the EVO. Go to NAPA or get oem. NAPA Part # BEL 700530K.
