Would a 3000GT twin turbo v6 engine fit in my 99 Eclipse GS?

That has to be the most retarded thing ever thought of. Nobody has done it... so nobody can answer that question. If you want to try it... be my guest

ok, I'm a little hesitant to wade into this thread under the circumstances....but this topic is exactly why I joined. I'm interested in importing a 4M41 turbo diesel and installing it in a potential variety of cars. My understanding is this engine has been used in Pajero/Monteros, L200-L400s. So, I'm guessing that all configurations are inline mounts. If I wanted to mount this in a Lancer, Galant, Diamante that would require transverse mounting.
I'm curious if anybody knows a source for engine specs like length, height, weight of long block, also flywheel diameter.....if this is the same flywheel used in other mitsu engines.

Right now, I own a dodge minivan. Considering the past relationship between Mopar and Mitsu, I would think the mitsu engines could also be dropped into mopar vehicles without too much difficulty. Probably be able to get away with bell housing swap from mid eighties k car or something. I'd love an L400 but even if I import, I doubt I would be able to get it tagged. Apparently, they also offered a VR Diamante...just not in North America.

any thoughts? anybody know the 4m4's?

how about you stop making these engine swap threads.. and research your car for 5 minutes lol. look if you want a faster car you have 2 choises. turbo your 420a and build it up spending alot of $$$$ in the process or sell the car and buy a GSt or GSX and doing mods as you wish to. DSMs are dirt cheap these days
