Hey, Sorry about the noob question but I had a little trouble finding this info with the search. First off, I am putting a 1g head on a 7 bolt motor (97 GSX). The block and head is both out of the car so the install should be much easier. I just got the block from Slowboy Racing and a built 1g head. Can you look at these parts and verify I am right before I start purchasing them. I got this info off of RRE's site and I am making sure you needed all of these following parts.
1g ARP head studs
91-94 Coil Pack and mounting bracket
91-94 Big water pipe on the front of the motor
91-94 Complete Water neck assembly
90-94 "U" Shaped water line that goes under the turbo
I will be going with the HKS cams so I will have to tap the intake cam. The way I read it, I can reuse my old Cam Angle Sensor (97 GSX). If I reuse my old Cam angle sensor, will I have to modify any harness or wiring.
Will there be anything else you can thank of that I will need for the swap? Thanks in advance
