Note: A lot of people ask me why I build 420A motors instead of just doing the 4G63t swap. Well, I've always been a fan of the 420A since i started driving due to the fact that my first car was a Dodge Neon with the 420A motor in it, not to mention that they are actually quite simple to work on. I've never really been a fan of the 4G63T mostly because of the horrible problem they had with crank walk in the early and mid 90s.
