    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    YES, I bought the car for $500. Engine would start but it would knock & so we took it out. The "Turbo" didn't have the compressor wheel or the turbine wheel but it had a tight bolt in the middle keeping the exhaust gases from entering the cold side. The Turbo didn't have oil lines either. So i...

    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    Actually im not worried about the Harness because my Car is a TURBO by factory & the ECU must be a Turbo because it was coiled pack & before the engine was pulled it would start & run but knocked. SO THAT MUST mean it is a Turbo ECU which means i have Turbo Harness. & what other small things are...

    THANK YOU!!!!!! Im going to be driving 2 hours today to go get the GTE Block & 5 GTE Pistons & rods.

    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    Yes the block would be the bare block with no pistons or crank. Short block is the block with pistons & crankshaft minus the cylinder head. Long block is cylinder block with pistons, crank & the cylinder head mounted already.

    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    Yes but aren't the Pistons different? GTE has lower compression while GE has higher compression. Im getting the 7MGTE block for $100 so it wouldn't hurt me to give $50 for the 7MGTE pistons.

    Piston & ECU question.

    Well before we took out the engine it would start & the engine would run but it would knock (It is coil pack with CPS) So i am guessing The ECU is 7MGT. Also as we started taking it apart we found out the Turbo didn't have the waste gate valve or whatever it is called or the Turbine wheel &...

    Where to buy Crankshaft & Block?

    That is way too far. I would have a better chance of going to a machine shop & buying it there even though it might cost an arm & a leg. But name your prices anyway.
