    Mikes 7MGE-T engine build

    I have a MHG you could have if you have a head in good condition. I think i have a late block and 7M crank and i had a pre 89 ecu. I definitely need new pistons. I hot tanked the block then cleaned it out with soap and water. I also chipped away at any loose casting.

    7m Na-t vs 7mgte ?

    I have been looking at the rear knock sensor and have no idea on how to tap it with the engine in. Maybe I can find a bung and lightly weld it on for now? But then I could also just tap the front one and use the middle one too. Any opinions?

    Project Maroon 7M NA-T. Finally reborn.

    Thought 60-1 wasn't the best due to the heavy wheel on a small shaft. Also even though the wheels bigger can a stock housing really flow that much?
