Perhaps looking at retail cost:
$500 - $1k buys a good 4G93 SOHC and ancillaries for a swap
$1500 buys an ok FTO to wreck
$3k for a 4G92m (?) if you can find one
$3.5k for a CM5A GSR half cut (?) if you can find one
$4k+ for a 4G63t with not that many ancillaries for a swap, 4G63t half cut $7k (?)

Bought a complete Lancer (4G93) for $800. Fitted new Exedy heavy duty clutch,machined flywheel,water pump,timing belt, new plugs and filters. cost approx. $1300. Then had to replace faulty alternater $250. and fit new exhaust and free flow cat. $400. Motor had X-Force extractors and a good stainless rear muffler on it and a stuffed centre section. did the basic swap in a weekend. My daughter who owns the car did most of it.
Hi everyone. I have read all the posts and still a bit confused. I have a 98 CE 2 door, 1.5 and i have got hold of an RVR4G63T front cut.
It is an AWD auto, is it possible to transplant the engine to the CE? or can i do away with the AWD and go 5spd FWD?
Any tips or links to appropriate threads would be great. Might be hard, or no go but front cut was a bargain. Cheers.

Have a look at Trents Coupe - he's got the 4G63T in a coupe, using a 4WD gear box locked up to just power the front drive shafts (effective FWD gearbox)
So I guess you could lock up your box, but you'd be stuck with an auto. Don't know about manual FWD boxes that will mate up with the G63, and I'm sure that's the reason trent just had his box locked.
EDIT: Oh and yes 100% possible to put a G63 in a CE coupe/mirage/sedan

Hey thanks for that. I was concerned about the orientation, as my 1.5 is on rhs and 4g63 is on LHS. Do they still fit ok, or will i need to fab mounts?
ok thanks, i thought it might be. so, might have some rvr 4g63 stuff for sale! cheers for that.
ok thanks for the advice. So my engine will fit the the earlier CC without too much trouble? if so i will explore this option. or perhaps mirage? sounds like it would be fun to drive thats all. cheers.
