thanks for the quick reply, i appreciate it.
would my '89 evo bolt into the 93 frame? basically, the frame isnt perfect on mine, want to transfer over drive train to 93. is that possible?

Unless they made some changes to the rear engine mounts to accomodate the extra gear, I would think it would probably fit. My friend's 1990 frame looks identical to my 1991.
