I got the car I wanted back in the day....17 years l8r as a Father/Son project car. I read your rules and crawled all over your huge site. I found lots of great information.
I found a really straight car for 500 and am now looking at a JDM 7A-FE but I was unsuccessful at finding this seemingly str8 forward swap on your site. I've sifted through TONS of great and helpful information tho. My only other swap experience was a Mazda Rotary into a 4wd Suzuki Samurai. I got the distributor type JDM located, I'm waiting to hear if the injectors are on the intake or head. I have a new head, but with a bad rod bearing I don't want to risk contaminating the newer engine. Any help would be appreciated, I'll continue to search your site for more information. |

I'll read the swaps more closely to see what is involved with a better performing swap. Again avoiding the wire harness is a very motivating ordeal.
My conspiracy theory is the "cash for clunkers" has taken a lot of good used engines off the market. I haven't found a decent usdm (7afe) engine. A long block rebuilt for 1600 and a couple 130k engines. A low mile with CA emissions, but still more expensive than jdm. |

I'm also looking at a rebuilt longblook locally. Not a whole lot of follow thru with the JDM vendors. I'm starting to wonder if they advertise them before they are available. |
