Eclipse lol Ok so i have a 95 eclipse....and the engine doesn't work. Its my new project car. And i have the body just how i want it. I do like the way the transam/camaro look. But i love the look of the eclipse. I know an ls1 put into an eclipse is gonna be expesnive as anything. But I have tons of time to put all of it into action. And my friend and i think it'd be a cool car. Any advice on how to do this?

If the car is awd, I say go for it. There will be tons of modification you will have to do, but if you have the time and know how...have at it. Trying to convert a fwd to rwd (or awd) is a nightmare in those cars. You basically have to cut the rear half of the car out and graft in the awd setup. I always have wanted to see a v8 in one of those though. Good luck.

if its just a body, build a frame and then set the cars body down onto the frame, use a soild rear axel and just cut up the car wherever nessecary to get it onto the frame of your own design

The Buscher RWD car has a north south layout 4G63 with an adapter plate and a Turbo 400 or 350, dont remember. The starion is a unibody, and the Eclipse is a tube chassis.
If you have an AWD car, there is a ton of room in there, but no tranny tunnel.
Certianly a project, but it would be a lot of work
Im assuming you walked the 7bolt?
