A 4G63T will bolt up I think - SOmeone on Tampa Bay DSM's has a 4G mirage. You could always put in AWD or convert the AWD to RWD, but prepare for designing a new rear suspension system and carving out the exhaust tunnel for a drive shaft and a host of other modofications.
If you have a Mirage but want a drift car you'd most likely be better off buying a RWD or AWD car and keeping the 'Mir as the daily, unless for some reason you REALLLY REALLLLLY want the Mirage as the drifter.
My '89 CRX is getting AWD, but mostly because it's about the lightest car there is, I love the suspension design, (double wishbone baby!) and the hatchback, not to mention the copious aftermarket and the SCCA success...

Thanks!
I can testify that doing a drivetrain conversion is going to be more expensive than buying another car 9 times out of 10.
If you're in the market for an engine swap, most likely you can afford another car. Chevettes can be had for $150 in good condition and $50 in halfway decent condition.
