4B11 or 4G63 swap a converted Evo IV?

Currently in AIT in Fort lee but I've been buying a lot of oem Evo IV parts over seas for a conversion and I've honestly been thinking about just going 4b11 cause why not lol you don't come see an evo IV everyday especially if it was swapped with a built 4b11. But I just want to see what you guys have to say about it since there's not a thread on this or any videos of anyone doing it and also thinking about an interior swap as well

Why not buy a rhd evo 4? They are very cheap and Florida is the grey market promised land. You can register a big wheel there.

A lot of work for something I don't really see the point of. However, it would be unique.

But 4G is life. In all honesty, good luck. A 4B11 will be a bit of an odd fit. I'm guessing you'd have to bring the motor forward as the turbo is rear mounted. Also dealing with wiring will be interesting.

4G is the only engine that would make sense. I can foresee a LOT more custom work to make the 4B work. I mean if you wanna blow all that AIT money (which really ain't ****) and then some and be a broke *** PVT with a non-running car for months then go for it.
