Will the factory 8 valve gearbox fit the 12 valve dash motor? If not, what will?

Dash FWD motor will be different won't it? Smaller bellhousing?

The Dash FWD bellhousing is narrower that the Starion RWD 8 valve engine. FWD to FWD will be conpatible, but not FWD to RWD.
I believe tat there are some RWD DASH engines, if so, they should be fine. otherwise, just swap the heads.

Yep, unfortunately its a fwd motor and I have now found out it definately won't fit the staz box :( Are there any boxes from a sigma/galant/l200/l300 etc that will fit? I'd rather not have to pull the motor apart.

Sigma's are narrow block aren't they, auto's are wide block. Maybe you'll get lucky and the pattern is similar.
Failing that, adaptor plate.

RWD sigma will bolt straight up. that's what i'm using in mine.

I thought sigmas were cable cluth though? Do some come with hydraulic clutch?

i'm not sure if they come with a hyraulic clutch, i'm using a cable clutch...but then my car came out with that from the factory so it was easy.
i also have a gearbox(still cable from a sigma) that has the same dimensions everywhere as the starion except fot the bellhousing that bolts straight up to the vr4 block, so if i decide to upgrade i won't be doing the starion block/vr4 head but the whole vr4 conversion...

a 2 litre cordia motor won't bolt in to a starion will it?
is it there any other problems other then the gear box?

No, any Engine which has been fitted and removed from a Cordia is the 'Narrow type' where as the Starion g/Box only accepts the 'Wide type' Engines, without modifications, which are generally from RWD donorsgotrice? wrote:a 2 litre cordia motor won't bolt in to a starion will it?

Though I have seen one idiot that had modified their Cordia g/Box to fit a Starion 2L in it

Does the starion have, the short motor or long motor?

Starion (and other RWD Mitsu) have the wider block. Cordia (and FWDs) have the narrow block.
