Now the enigne has been sitting still in the crate for about 3 years, any thing I should look for before I start the engine swap? its one of thos 30,000 imported engines from japan.

I bought a 97 GS Spyder about 3 weeks ago, now I wana sell it and start to work on my GSX, I just want the money from my spyder to go into a new tranny from Team Rip and the rest will go to new pain job and MAYBE a vacation

anything I missed? any other parts that I should order? My gsx is my daily driver, I just love it soo much that i want to do it right the first time...

I will post pictures asap!!!

I would at least replace the head gasket on that motor while its out and easy to do. They just guess on how many mile are on the motors. BTW what are you wanting for the spyder what year is it

 

[OddNotion]

Keep the spyder and put the AWD drivetrain in it

Well The spyder was cool, it saved crazy gas and it was an easy score with the ladys... but I'm done with that... PLUS my buddy keeps bagging on me (subru guy)

Make sure to do a timing belt job on it. A lot of those engines have more than 30,000 miles on them when they come over here. I have seen many drop them in as is just to blow them up soon after because of a timing malfunction.

Timing belt
Timing tensioner
Timing idler/tension pulleys
Water pump
Thermostat
Head gasket
ARP head studs
O2 Sensor
I would probably go as far as putting new freeze plugs in it. That's just me though.

Then you should be good to go.

 

[DSMnOOb00]

all over it!!

where is a good place to order the idler/tension pulleys, freeze plugs and ARP head bolts?
I already got some SS bolts for the exausht manifold

I never even thought about freeze plugs... thanks! I will order friday (payday) once I find a place to order from

I did all my rotating stuff this past summer/fall. I replace everything the timing belt rolled on, as well as the belt and pulley for the balance shaft (yes, still got 'em) and water pump. All new belts too.
The tensioner was fun, but a good investment.

My balance belt was basically flopping around just waiting to jump out and grab the timing belt.

Definitely do those suckers.

I went Mitsubishi OEM all the way. I get good prices from Rockville Mitsubishi online.
