Blog Title: 6 Bolt '98 Eclipse 2.3L Build

Hey guys. Thanks for checking out my 6 bolt swap blog. This build has been 3 years in the making and I’m excited to get it put together. I know how you guys love seeing builds with lots of pics so I’m going to try to post up as detailed a documentation as I can. I’m hoping to use some videos to better document the build as well. I have used Spoolin98 and blcknspo0ln’s build threads as references and they were a great help. I hope I can help future members with their swaps as well. I also wanted to make this thread so all my random questions can be in one central place. Please subscribe to the thread and help me out along the way.

This is my first build so I know I will run into a lot of problems but I know with the support on this forum and with multiple service manuals I will be able to complete this build.

	Why not go with a divided T4 to compliment that wicked head?

	Thanks guys. I'll have pics up soon. They will be in a new blog. Just got some before pics up today. I have to resize all my pics and its a real pita. I would go divided T4 but I got a really good deal on the exhaust mani and im on a budget. Maybe in the future.
