Well I found one of these for insanely cheap and decided to pick it up. I knew I could at least use the crank for a stroker build, but it would be best if I could use the entire block. Well, if my measurements are corrrect (12.5" between lower most trans bolt holes), it's a narrow block! And that's not even the coolest part... Here's some pics.
Here's the coolest part: A factory knock sensor! . That means no drilling and tapping for a knock sensor. That oil pressure sending unit would also make a good secondary source for an oil pressure reading.
So I'm fairly certain I'm breaking some new ground here by using a 4g64 from a 2003 Outlander. So far, it seems 100% possible to use this engine in a DSM. I plan to build it over time and note any differences/issues I run into by using this block.
