I have been getting mixed answers on if it is possible to swap an evo engine into a 02 galant and retain the stock automatic transmission which is possible by putting a custom flywheel on it. I knwo it is possible to retain FWD with the evo engine as you can weld the transfer case on the tranny and it should work wtih FWD, any help is appreciated.

Dont do it. Galant auto box is the cars weakest point. Giving it an extra 140bhp to transmit to the wheels is going to destroy it in no time.
It is also far too much power for front wheel drive, it will understeer straight in to the first ditch.
You can fit any engine in any car if you know what you are doing.
A 3000GT engine should be reasonably easy to fit with the 3000GT auto box and a 4wd conversion.
There is no point having 300bhp if you cant put it down to the road

now you're talkin'. I can't understand why someone would pour so much money into a Galant. Don't get me wrong I love my Galant but I wouldnt drop a 4g63 in it. I would just find the right car
