Engine Swap
I have an eclipse GS 1996, it has a A588 engine in it. I want to swap it for a 4g63. I want to know what would be the best place to get one of those babies. Some else I wanted to add was that I was reading the magazine Super Street and it showed a spider, that got a AWD conversion. He got it in Arizona, but I was wondering if they do it in CALI.

Well the car isn't working right now and If I can't swap the engine whats the point in wasting more money. Should I just get another 420A and sell the car, and then buy a gst, or gsx.

The A588 is another name for the 420a, its less popular and is refered to it in 1000faq.com vfaq.com, and some other misuforum write up for the 420a that I stumbled upon the other day.
The 4g63 swap is impossible with out an extreme amount of cash, the search button does wonders.... along with the write ups at the top of the forum that explain that but i am sure you read those.
A 420a on 10 psi will make just over 200hp at the crank, 300whp will be attained by 15psi depending on other mods.
For boosting, the min for over 10 psi are, j.e. pistons preferably 8:6:1 compression ratio, eagle rods, clevett bearings, and a mls headgasket.
If your straped for cash sell the car and buy a 1g, their is no way to have a cheap fast 2g weather its a 4g63 or a 420a. The 420a takes alot more cash to make it go.
If your serious about building the 420a pm me with what you exactly want out of the car and I will compile a list with parts, vendors, prices...ect.

This is what i'm going to try and do, try to sell the car, or just get a gsx from a dealer and trade the 420a in. And then start from scratch and build the GSX. Is that a good Idea, cuz I really want a AWD car.
