I hate to break this to you... but that 4g64 swap that was performed on a Lancer only made around 130 or so whp with all those mods that you listed. Yeah sure... turbo and internal work would most likely bump that up close to 300... but it's still going to cost you some serious cash. In the end you could spend less cash building up the 4g94 with turbo and make comparable power.
Now here's my question... why even do an engine swap? Unless you have the resources and the know-how to do so, I don't recommend an engine swap. It is A LOT of work and you will be running into problems left and right... trust me on this...
I can tell you're not made of money... so why bother? Don't take this as me knocking you down or anything... but you really don't have a reason to even consider a swap.

Dude you're in Tampa, I've looked on car-parts, there are shops around you that have the engine AND tranny for 900 bucks. Trust me I've looked into it around our area. we are all alone when it comes to engine swaps, there is nobody around our area that is willing to do swaps for us. I'm a local I've been here forever. I've heard the same "I'll do it for one grand" "I'll get it done bro, won't be too high I'll let you know" When you say an engine swap shops assume that it's going to be some kind of direct swap and they have some stupid thing called "faith" in the owner that he knows what he's asking of the shop. It WON'T be $800. If you want to get this done for reasonable price start from another aspect. Upgrade ALL your suspension first. The lancer is an amazing car with handling and I think you'll be satisfied with doing that first. AFTER you realize how much money you're putting into a decent suspension you will either want to put more or keep going I don't know you or what you do. Then check out the engine. If you get an engine that has high mileage as long as it isn't seized, you're fine, just change out vital parts. all the gaskets, the timing belt, water pump, etc. It's easy when the engine is off the car. Just by the way you talk dude (no offense) but you do not sound like you're savvy with this type of stuff. I don't know if you're new to mitsubishi's, but like everyone has said 4G94, NOT the way to go if you want to be powerful on the roads. As it is, I don't understand what you are expecting from a FWD car anyway. Either way I wish you luck and take everything into consideration.

As with anything that hasn't been done, or hasn't been done often, there's an unknown risk.

Hmmm, why would it be hard to find the 4g64 motor??? That motor is all over the place. I went the the junkyard 2 days ago here in beaufort, sc and i seen 3 4g64 motors there. Now you can get a 4g64 motor and do a 4g63 dohc head swap which will work with out a doubt. check it out. http://4g64.150m.com/

a shop saying they can do it and then actually doing it is two different things. How many times has that shop down any swap?? Honda swaps dont count i can do one in 3 hours by myself. Markoj is just trying to give you a heads up as me and him have done the math and its alot of money either swap remember its not just the motor theres alot of UNSEEN problems you run into just do a little more homework before. If you can do it for really cheap. I hope it works out

Already did all my homework thats why im buying parts now and save up so if it does cost more for the swap then i will have the extra 5 grand to do it
it shouldnt cost 5 grand for just the swap anyways
