I believe the saying is, "pics or it never happened"
Just because it looks like an evo and may have some of the chassis still left doesn't make that car an evo. The 4g63 only ever came from the factory in ANY chassis in a FWD/AWD configuration, never RWD. For those of you that don't know the real difference, RWD has something called a transmission tunnel. Evos don't. That Norris Designs evo is a purpose built race car with more money in development and fabrication than most of you will ever spend on a S-chassis in your life.
Can a 4g63 be mounted in a S-chassis? Yea, sure. With enough money, you can put whatever motor/trans combo you want in any vehicle.
Why does it have to be bad to put anything other than a Nissan engine in a S-chassis? People argue the 2jz vs RB all the time. Fact is they are both very potent straight 6 motors that are capable of lots of power. When it comes down to it, you either turbocharge your KA24 or drop it in a lake and swap in anything else to make some decent power.
I'll keep my eyes out for someone doing a writeup on this. Like a few of the other guys said, I love the 4g63 and I love Nissans.
