Evo was in a fire, motor and transmission were pulled and the LS was dropped in. So it's definitly sweet.

Most likely upsets the balance, gets rid of the awd system, the super uber differential.......to me it looks like one giant DOWNGRADE!

Honestly when you buy something as expensive as an EVO you shouldn't have an engine swap on your mind. Big points for creativity but otherwise I think that's pretty pointless.

I've said it before and i'll say it again: the LSX deserves to be in every auto. If you can handle it

I really wouldn't call an Evo expensive.

I don't really see the point, either, but not quite for the same reason as everyone else here. I don't see why you'd waste an LS1 on an Evo. There are plenty of decent cars you could put it in.

Nice I love swaps, I think that Evo would put the smackdown on alots of cars here including my own and $30,000 now this days for a new car is nothing unless you get a base model and lose money on resale.

cool concept but they need to do something about that wheelspin, the car doesnt look like its up to handling rwd with that much power.

"upsets the balance" geez that argument is weak, and lame and gay. You think a Porsche has balance with the engine hanging behind the rear wheels? still a badass car. Shush now you sound silly.

sound + video don't match up to me. an evo just isn't supposed to sound like that. it's wierd.

I read the whole thing. Just because a 30k car is in a fire doesn't mean that it's a good idea to custom fab an entire swap that eliminates both the things that makes an EVO desireble (turbo and AWD) and spending probably as much money as it could be to just get your insurance money, get another EVO, and spend all that LS money on 4g63 mods, to where you can have a solid 12-11 second car that doesn't have a completely alien drivetrain. I should have known better then to have an opinion.

Believe it or not, some people do things just because they haven't been done.When Nikola Tesla was working on AC electricity, Edison called him an ******* (i'm paraphrasing )Either way, i know that's way off subject and not really the same, i just think it's stupid for anyone to argue over the validity of this swap.
