The 4G motor? I don't think it will fit as in drop in. The 6g73 from the Avenger barely fit in length anddeck lid height.
What is it that you're looking for by chance? More power? If you've got the 4g64 in there already, swap in a 4g63t head and call it a day. Or give me the block so that I can have a 2.4L AWD turbo Avenger

his s/n says 98gs... i'm gonna gues that's what he's got. there are no realistic engine swaps for your car! period. to do the 4g63t swap into your car will cost you minimim 3k. if you are spending that much money you might as well sell your car and get a gst or gsx with that extra 3k.

Ive seen like... 50 diff. people asking about 2G RS/GS engine swaps... there should just be a sticky stating that its not possible. Entitle it: "2G 420a/4G64 owners: No swaps. Not worth the money even IF you could find someone to do the swap."
