Trying to put a DOHC swap parts list together and got stumped on the tensioner arm and idler pulley bracket. STM has them listed as MD195094 and interchangeable between 89-99. Is this a newer designed part or will an original 1g bracket and arm combo (that I already have) work with a 7bolt block as well?
Also when choosing a timing belt tensioner it's specific to the front case right? The 95 specific listing was throwing me off especially since I only saw one part number (MD327450, has been updated to 1211A160) for a front case listed. My truck would fall in to that early category.
Timing belt kit for an Galant ES
Timing cover for a 7 bolt engine
Clutch is just going to be an upgraded disk and pressure plate even with Starion trans
Does ARP make conversion 11m to 12m studs for a 6bolt head on a 7bolt block
(Head is ported built and ready to go with a RWD SMIM)
Adjustable cam gears to correct for extra timing belt tooth
Is RWD water pump and pipe a better option than a DSM pump and pipe? Where can I tap for turbo coolant line?
What else am I not thinking about?
Truck will be a 9:1 long rod 100mm stroke setup connected to a Starion hydraulic trans. non-turbo until the body brakes and suspension are done then probably an adapted Evo twin scroll turbo. I figure the head swap, plumbing challenges and the trans master and slave will keep me busy for a while.
The exhaust, intercooler and turbo stuff is a project for a little down the road.
