You'll have to do the same amount of work as if you were dropping a 4G63 in there. Too much money and too much work.:(

Thanks for the info. I did some more reasearch and found out it is a lot more work than I can afford to do so guess ill just get a used 420A for the one I broke.

Replacing the 420A motor and turbocharging it is still cheaper than doing the 4G64 swap.;)

out of curiousity, how important is the car to you? have you put alot of money/time into it. are you just looking to make it faster or have something not many others do???


You might even think about replacing the motor and trying to pick up a cheap 1g turbo. that way you can keep a nice reliable daily driver and have ur fun as well.

just a thought. good luck.

Thanks for you idea, I have actually after a lot of research realized that it is more work than I can handel by myself, and too much money to have someone else do the conversion for me. I went and put in the 420A and will put a turbo on that it wont be as fast as the 4g63 but will give me a little more boost. I love the car it is in great shape and have put a lot of after market parts on it so I dont want to sell it i will just add to it and make it nice on the outside and quicker on the inside. Thanks again for your reply as well as everyone else who replyed.

i'm currently doing the 420A to 4G64 swap in my 96 GS. it is alot of time and money. so far i have spent 2Gs' that it on the conversion. i couldnt figure out how to get it running so i took it to the shop and they said that that was unchartered territory for them, however they have been researching all thats left to figure out is cam timing if anyone has some INFO PLEASE SEND IT MY WAY. andrew.s.brown1@us.army.mil
