Engine swap? Mi-Vec
Anyone looked at mitsu's new mi-vec motors, they are backwards in the engine bay to the talon motors like ours and I have a source on them, just wondering if anyone in Korea has played with them since their 1.6 spits out 175 hp, and the 2.0 L v6 is a 220 hp monster. the 1.6 looks like an accent swap as does the 2.0 to a tibby if the swap prospect isn't to hard.

If engine mounts can be developed, that sounds like a good idea for everyone except those folks like me who live in Cali.
Where can I get more information on the web about those motors?

Yeah, i like that part. I believe that the 2.0 might even fit into the accent, since its only 2.0L. But still, it would be a bit*h getting parts for that motor.

Arg,...
i hate kali sometimes
if it wasnt for the weird nice weather, half naked ladies, and all the entertaining stuff,... i would have moved.
Im sure theres a way to get these motors here. You can always try to sneak one across the mexican border. Make it look dusty and say its a ford,...lol
OR
you can find a good mechanic and have them do the swap over there. It will be cheaper.
Either way,... i dont think mexico has GTO's,... but it will be easier to get them there instead of kali.
