all the g54b are now approaching 20 years old. Ie falling apart. Not to mention you couldnt get parts for them 5 years ago when I worked for mitsu. Good luck getting anything OEM now.
I love the chassis. Hate the motor. Too bad they fall to the crusher far too often. It is a money pit, but if you can endure its quite the platform.

Re: starion
ok heres the gist of it.
the tranny and driveline is stout. The heads on those things are ----. change em out for http://www.racetep.com/dod_mit.html heads. the EFI system is ----, but you can make some ok money.
all in all its a good project car.
also, a 4g63 mitsubishi engine bolts right up to the tranny. and the 2.6 liter engine is the same one mazda makes and puts into the b2600 pick up trucks.

It takes an adapter to mate the narrow block (ie 99.999% of 4g63) to the starion trans. (which shares many components with the FC btw)
Honestly, your best bet is to find a wideblock 4g64(all longitudinal 4g64 are wideblock) which will bolt straight to the trans. From there you can slap a 63' head on or whatever. Not too difficult.
