Look at your motor in your car, then look at a 4g63 in another car. Notice which way the timing belt points. Add 2+2 and hopefully you'll get 4. If you suck at math I'll just tell you the answer is no it wont work.

It will fit.It just wont match up to the factory motor mounts. You would have to fabricate your own mounts. It would not be worth trying. If you want a turbo Eclipse then just buy one.

Why not just replace it with what it came with? I'm sure you could find an rs motor cheaper then $700. And $700 is alot for a 4g63nt motor, you can get a 4g63t long block for about that or a little less.

Aint no thang but a chickin wang

Junk yard. I would never buy a motor off the internet unless it was brand new. Especially off a website.

You know how many people wreck 420a eclipses? Probably more then wreck honda's. Everytime I go to the junk yard I see PLENTY of 420a cars there.

How do you know if you don't even look. I'm just giving you my advice, up to you if you take it or not.
