For someone I enjoy and respect I'm a little disappointed with you on this one. Not everyone is an LS1 candidate. How about you shoe-horn one of those bad boys into your car?

That's blasphemy, Paul. No self respecting Mitsu would ever have an American engine of any sort in it.
On a side note, do you know how the throttle body issue would be solved for a swap into a FC?

well, you'd have to go with something like a motec anyway to control the engine, so i wouldn't think swapping out the drive-by-wire system with a cable would be too much harder then a little fabrication and a trip to the junkyard
actually, i'd bet speed source is already has a throttle cable for their race cars for sale.
