The Evo engine is generally a 4g63t....

it's often called the 4g63t-2 because it is the second generation of the 4g63

yeah man generally the evos have a 4g63t engine but the difference is they come with a bigger turbo and intercooler than the ones that come out of the gst and gsx eclipses and they have a taller head on them...other than that theres usually not a difference...as far as the srt-4 engine let me know how it goes if you decide to do it man b/c right now i have a 420a and if thats a fairly simply swap i might be able to consider that for my car lol...

all evo's have the 4g63t. the VIII's came w/ a 16g and the IX's come w/ a 20g. they also came w/ FMIC's not SMIC's. they are also turned 180 degreas from the GST's and GSX's. i have heard of ppl asking about dropping the SRT-4 engine in there but dont' know of anybody that has done it. i would thing it would be a PITA since the turbo is mounted on the rear of the engine (towards the firewall) and would take much fabrication and "caoxing" of the firewall.

RE: Engine Swap

no need to talk about swapping an engine anymore, any person i their right mind that doesn't wana spend over 5k on a swap when they can buy the car w/ the engine in it for for the same price.
