Whilst searching thy net of inter, I have by chance found a most interesting combination of an Eclipse by Mitsubishi and  a K20 engine of the Honda clan.

Enough of that.

Someone has paved the way and it can be done.  And I just happen to have an Eclipse with a bad 420A.  And a broken K20 header from a RS of X.  So I have most of the aforementioned swap.

Sorry, no links .  But there is a series on the You of Tubes that relates to this very subject.

I'm still convinced the correct answer here is to do the srt swap and make a worse neon srt-4, but i don't have the werewithal to bother.

The 4G63 is pretty much an anvil. (Ignore the crankwalk) Why reinvent the wheel?

420a cars are wildly different than 4g63 cars from a driveline standpoint. They share more in common with the cloud cars (and subsequently the aforementioned neon) than the DSM triplets. Only reason i'd really consider it is it's like a dollar and a three rack from white castle to get an eclipse RS these days. No one wants them. The 4g63 cars are starting to command a premium. It's almost time for Race Wars after all.

I can't totally explain why, but I love this idea.
