1g head going on 7 bolt... questions and concerns.

[my98GST]

Alright I'm in the process of rebuilding my 1g head and 2g 7 bolt. I was going to go to Extremepsi and get a complete bottom end gasket kit that they offer for the 7 bolt, and then get the complete 1g top end gasket kit. That will work so far correct? Or am I missing something or can I not do it like that? What am I going to do about the timing aspect of it? I know on JNZ they have 1g timing stuff and 2g timing stuff.... What would I need?

as far as timing components on the head the only timing component is the cam gears which are all the same from 90-99 so your answer would be 2g timing components because your tensioner, idler pulleys are all bolted to your 2g block

You may need to rewire the CAS becuase I don't think that your 2g one will fit in the 1g head But I'm not sure on that

Like you stated you need the bottom gasket set for the 2g and topend gasket set for the 1g. And as far as the timing set all you need to do is get the stuff for a 2g because your 1g cam gears arent going to change anything.

I have heard that the 97+ CAS will bolt directly up to a 1G head. I hope someone with actual experience on this can state definitively the answer.
