4g63 dohc turbo/non turbo bolts straight into 1600 ex, major work needs to be done on thermostat/ water pipes, also manifolds need to be made, these motors will bolt up to a 2litre sigma gearbox. if your wanting to do a quick cheap transplant then the 2litre sohc carbed motor from a sigma is the best bet, straight swapover, no hassles with fuel pumps, surge tanks, custom manifolds, heater hoses, etc, etc. search, there are plenty of threads (on this site and others) that go into both options.

just to add to that...only the early 4g63 dohc engines bolt straight in as after about 90-91 the blocks don't come with RWD mounts.

i dont know if the g61 will fit or not. I have been having a few evil thoughts about a 6g72, have had a look at a couple up at the wreckers, from preliminary measurements it will fit in the bay, pretty tight on room for exhaust, and would also most likely need some tunnel mods as well as possibly a gearbox adaptor, however they do appear to have mounts that can be worked into a rwd setup. If there is a rwd block that fits i may just have to pursue this train of thought a little more, would love the flat torque curve of a V6, plus would sound the nuts howling through a gravel special stage... :twisted:

Ihave heard talk that the 2.6 astron bellhousing pattern is the same as the 6g72, pretty sure this holds true of the earlier sohc ones, but not too sure about the dohc motors.

No they wont. They are completely different. The 6G72 has a V shaped bell housing, and the Astron doesn't (go figure..)

They have the ability to have mounts though, those little moulds

Nope not the 7 bolt 4G63 found in the Evo 1 onwards. The only mount on the engine is the cam belt side engine mount, the other mounts are all on the gearbox. The 6 bolt 4G63s found right up to the E39A Galant have castings on the side of the block for mounts.
