so i picked up a 97 eclipse rs with a blown motor for $400, and i was wondering where you guys get your eclipse/dsm motors online. best price i could find locally for a 2g eclipse rs motor was $1500- but i'd like to shop around. i know for hondas and acuras there's hmotorsonline, but i dont know any good places for dsm. also, does anybody know any places that have good swap tech info for dsms. i might consider swapping the stock 420a for a 4g63 if it is possible without spending more money than the car is worth. i keep going to places that i find on google that just say to sell the non turbo eclipse and buy a factory turbo one because the swap isn't worth it. however, considering i picked up the car for $300 plus a $100 tow, i dont mind putting a little bit of money into it.

thanks in advance for any useful info

im pretty sure the 4g63 doesnt mount in the n/a without quite a bit of mods....just what i heard....had a 420 a motor...slow as ---- but whatever im driving a honda again

Those NA eclipse motors are pretty much Neon motors if not the same exact

That's all I've heard is that the NA models are completely different

420a, same engine...

where are you located i could get you a used but running 4g63 non turbo for $250 in CO if you come and pick it up, the swap is a bitch though the 1.8 sohc 420a has different mount points than the 4g63/4g63t and the swap is a bitch but if your are going to do it i dont see why you dont just say ---- it and go for the turbo one 420a=95hp<4g63=140hp<4g63t=195hp with lots of cheap mods and upgrades available

btw the motor i got is a 6bolt na with 140-150 compression across the board

Its possible but people are scared to do real work other than bolt ons so there isn't common info out there beyond "just buy a turbo model." I'd imagine you could find the proper placement for the engine mounts if you meassured an empty 2G engine bay. Theres a moderator/wiseman on t00ners that has done this. I can't remember his name but hes in wisconsin.

I'd just put in a new engine, clean it up and sell it to a high school girl, make some $$
