3000GT engine in a eclipse??
I got a 2003 Eclipse GT. It has a V6 in it and i was wondering if i could take the engine out of a 3000GT since they are both the 6G72 engines. Im not sure if they would mount up the same or anything. Or if i could just take the internals and swap them into the eclipse engine?

RE: 3000GT engine in a eclipse??
The problems you're run into when attempting this "swap":
1.)The intake manifold is completely different. It will not clear a stock hood clearance.
2.)Ttransmission is located on oppostie side. Eclipse's transmission is located on the driver's side, 3/S is on the passenger's. You might be able to pull it off, but you're gonna need custom motor/transmission mounts since the chassis is different.
3.)Hood clearance problem also applies to the valve cover, due to different head.
4.)3/S ECU will most unlikely be able to drive the stock gauges.
And if you were going to ask if we can do a 3/S DOHC head conversion, that won't work. Bolt pattern is different.

Aight well i heard about people putting the 4g63 engines in a 2003 eclipse. How would that work and if it wouldnt what would be the best thing for me to do to squeeze some power out of that car.
