Found a TSIAWD Talon for cheap, but what trans will fit to convert to RWD?

some type of Mitsubishi trans probably would fit, truck maybe?

A Google search finds this... 4G63 RWD

I build custom bellhousings for the 4G63 narrow block turbo engine, the adaptor is fitted for the W-55/59 series trans or the supra turbo r-154 trans for higher horspower applications

Hey Bill, you should put a post up over in the suppliers section describing what all you sell, how to contact you, etc.

I guess most of the guys I talked to before were staying away from the 4G63 becuase it was too tall for the Lotus swap, so I never gave it much more thought. I offered to index the engine to one side to clear the hood but I never heard much about it
I mostly sell to guys who want to 'drift' and 4wd rockcrawlers

There is talk of a Mighty Max or Hyundai Stellar tranny fitting but I doubt it would last too long ...

How tall is it? In that pic it doesn't look too tall.

I'm pretty sure you can use a Dakota bellhousing to mate the Neon 2.0 to a Supra tranny. There are details on it in the big NA donors sticky up top.

That site is all about RWD 4g63 applications. You can probably find what you need to know there.
