So I had another 7afe dropped in after I threw a rod in the last one. Unfortunately, I have no idea how many miles were on this motor sooo...yea I have my doubts. What should I do to check on the shape of this motor? I'd like to build it up and turbo it. What things should I be looking for?

I'm not sure exactly what kind of numbers you should be looking for on a 7afe though. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
