Just like the DSMers did with the 6 bolt 2.4 blocks and 4g dohc head. Can this be done with an Evo VIII-IX head onto a 2.4 out of an outlander, galant, or any of the new 2.4's?

as long as a 7 bolt crank you should be alright.

I see some are using the 2.4 crank's into the Evo blocks. But, I'm talking about using the whole 2.4 shortlock with an Evo head.

Thanx. Now my next questions. Did Mitsubishi do the narrow/wide block goofy thing again? Also, is there a rwd mitsu trans that the 2.0/2.4 blocks will bolt upto?

Just remember that, like the 6 and 7 bolt 2.4 DSMs, the n/a 2.4s were not built to withstand turbo use. Their rods and pistons are the weak link if you're not building a forged bottom end using the block and crank only...

My built 2.4L 4G64 is being built as we speak, with my stock Evo VIII head attatched.

building my 2.4L 4g64 was pretty easy. These are some of the parts used for the shortblock:

Pistons are off the shelf "custom" from the Wiseco catalog. I am using the .20 over bore piston which is part number k548m87.

Rods are just your standard eagle rods that you would buy for the evo8.

I am using ACL bearings which I purchased from Jackson Automachine.

The crank is the same 4g64 I got out of the of the junk yard engine. The crank was in good shape so I had it balanced and just reused it.

Headgasket is a custom evo8 Cometic Headgasket because they do not make one for my 87mm bore.

did you use an evo oil pump? what did you do about the water pump and timing belt?

I did reuse the evo oil pump. I was using a 4g64 water pump but the damn thing which I bought brand new from Advanced Auto parts was defective. I went ahead and just reused my evo water pump with a adapter plate which i made. The timing belt I got real lucky on... I ordered the wrong timing belt from JAM. I ment to order an Evo8 one and I got a 2g dohc one. This was before I knew I needed to get a different timing belt

Would you mind taking pictures said adapter plate..or maybe if you can't, explain it somehow? Sorry, just inquisitive as its either a 2.3 or 2.4 for me in the very near future.

The Evo8 water pump does not fit on the block correctly. The top corner overlaps over the top of the block leaving the back side of water pump open. I think Magnus sells the plates.
