I recently got a hold of a new project car that had thrown a rod bearing, the head was ok so I had the 2g head rebuilt and found a 1g 7-bolt on craigslist for a good deal, I know that the 6-blot swap is done all the time so I figured that the 7-bolt swap would be the exact same, correct me if im wrong.
I have searched and searched and cannot find very detailed imformaction on a couple specific things.
I know the whole prosses to trim the 2g moter mount to fit around the 1g water pump as you can see in this pic that I done that.
But I couldnt find any information about having to trim the water pump itself, as you can see in the pic the timing belt tentioner arm hits the water pump.
You can see it doesnt leave much room to tighten the timing belt, I know that the blue pully also tightens the belt, but is that enough room for the tentioner arm to do its job?
Is it a common thing to have to trim the water pump?
The next poblem is the water port on the front of the 2g block
The 1g 7-bolt block does not have this port, when I was pulling the motor I cant even remember where the line even went to, how can I get around not using this line? What is it for ?
This is the line.
Thanks in advance for all the help you can give, these are the only things that are keeping me from putting the motor in, they are causing me to pull my hair out
