you can but it is by no means a direct bolt in. The motor is totally 180 degrees from how a 4g63 and in order to even get it to bolt in there is alot of fab work that needs to be done just to do it. Not to mention all of the drivetrain youll need. So in the end it ends up being cheaper and easier to just buy a gst. So IMO i wouldnt even bother trying to do the swap

If it was that easy, don't you think everyone would be doing it?

dont forget the front end. Im pretty sure you need a front engine bay frame in order to get it to fit in the front correctly.
