VA New FD project for me

Hi Everyone,
I'm Joshua, I live in the Nothern VA/ DC area.
I just picked up a 93 black/black in excellent condition. It's my first FD and I'm anxious to get started!

Currently the car has adjustable shocks, all new bushings, abs delete, big brake upgrade and a manual gear box. I got TONS of parts with the car. (motor, trans, harness, complete front and rear suspension, gauges and etc....
I have a 1000hp Mitsubishi Evolution and I'm fed up with spending 4k on a clutch to only make a few passes.. With that said, I'm converting the evo motor to RWD with a GM th350 auto transmission to transplant into the FD.
I just have a crap ton of parts to sell and a car to part out to finish the funds for this adventure!

Here are a few pics of the FD and of the donor evo. :-)

So you're throwing the 4g in the FD? That is a pretty cool swap.

I paid $6800 and it came with a extra complete front and rear suspension and the stock motor in pieces including a microtech lt12s ECU. I figure by the time i sell off everything I dont need Im about 4k deep.

Not a fan of engine swaps into the FD, but if done proper it's respectable. Every man to his own, right? Good luck! I would like to see this completed.

Btw is it really 1000hp?
