eclipse engines

[fixerupper10]

hey anyone know if it really matters on the eclipse motors what year you get for a direct drop in? or will i have to make new engine mounts for a newer motor? Also what manual transmission can i get to fit it?

not sure on the year but you wanna find the 4g63 with the 6 bolt flywheel, narrow block 5 speed trannys bolt up behind them

You preferably want the 6 bolt engines, 91-92(90 will work also, just has diffent electrical plugs on certain sensors).93-up will work also but they are the less desirable 7 bolt engines. Any of those years will work with stock truck mounts, but the cas and thermostat will be touching the firewall, so you might want to fab up some brackets to move it up an inch or two. The 5 speed manual(KM132) from a g63b(2.0L carbed engine) mighty max/Ram 50 will bolt right up to the engine.

wait so whats the manual transmission on the 2.4 carbed motors?

[DroppedMitsu]

there is no 2.4 carbed. There is a 2.4 FI(4G64) with a wideblock tranny. There is a 2.6L carbed(G54B) that also has a wideblock tranny. The 4g63's are mostly all narrowblocks. so the only narrowblock tranny was the g63b tranny,KM132,

Whoops ya haha I meant the 2.6. Cool thanks for the help guys. Now just to see if pick-n-pull has the motor. I already know there not going to have the tranny.
