No, it's definitely about the Mexicans.

New pistons and reconditioning the rods are already on the list. All I really need to source out is the small stuff. I want every bolt to be correct and in it's proper place, which I don't have. I'm thinking a silicone hose kit from eBay is in order as well. Plus a gasket kit and I'll throw...

Since we're on the topic of eBay parts, what eBay gasket set would you guys recommend? The headgasket would be thrown away, of course.

The 90's techno killed it.

You're running with the W58 correct? Will the R154 bolt up with that adapter plate and UZ bellhousing?

Did you change out the break booster? I've read that was needed. Any changes to the fuel system? New pump? New lines? Mechanical or electrical fan? Did you find headers that fit or have them fabricated?

Well, now I can give you firsthand knowledge. The oil pan was smashed too.

I'm pretty sure the only reason why Shane ordered from Tiger is because it was the only place with a GTE in stock. Since I needed it with the quickness that's how it happened. And lol'd. Performance market for GM > UZ. That's what it comes down to. Plus a carbed 350 is stupid simple and reliable.

Or if anyone get find a write up for a Chevy 350 swap. It'd probably be cheaper to do that.

I'll keep it in mind, I know I need a shit ton of stuff. Where would I be able to get the correct bolts for everything? I hate having mismatched bolts all over the motor. Since I'm doing a rebuild I might as well get everything as correct and good as I can.

Looks like I may not be able to rebuild the motor. I had to salvage parts off of it for the JDM one and I'm missing all sorts of bolts, hoses, everything. I'd have to hunt down so many little things it'd be ridiculous. /disheartened.

Would you mind making a write up of literally everything needed, possibly with cost included? I'm at a standstill between rebuilding a 7M or swapping for either a 1UZ or Chevy 350.

Sorry for a necro-bump, but what all was needed to get the motor to fit/work besides needing headers that fit and mounts?

When every day you go through this: *Car starts up perfectly* "BULLSHIT MOTHERFUCKER. It's blown, it has to be. These things never work."

Or the reflection of the trees... edit- Eat shit Kelson, I said it first! :(

Word. I swapped over a lot of shit that I didn't expect to. Mostly due to Tiger sending me a piece of shit, but expect to replace basically every hose. Replace the whole clutch assembly, machine the pressure plate, and do any tearing apart before you drop it in.

I've been told from a friend who has ordered a shit ton of motors that http://www.jdmenginedepot.com/ is great. He would blow up motors and just drop a new one in from them. The only experience I've had was Tiger. I highly don't recommend them. I swear that there was a dead animal carcass in...

Makes me want to do it so bad. Unfortunately it would heavily contrast with the rest of the car's appearance. Old.

How the hell do I get my signature picture to be bigger?

Hell, they looked amazing before the tint. I would have just made it more blood red than black though.
