hey guys, I got a 90 Project GSX. and I want to rebuilt it for my sister. heres the problem im having. The motor thats in it is bad. Im not sure EXACTLY whats wrong with it, but theres milky stuff on the dip stick. Blown head gasket maybe????? It needs a Turbo, and a trans.


Should I buy a JDM front clip? or just rebuild the motor, and trans that I have?
 
I also seem to be leaning twards a JDM front clip also, BUT arnt the JDM front clips from GVR4's and the shit linkage is diffrent right?
 
Just reuse the tranny it has. You could buy the proper linkage from Mitsu depending on the years of the cars it may or may not match up. The '90 tranny should bolt up to the JDM engine. Odds are that the transfer case and rear end will be wrong for the trans. that comes with the clip.
