i have a bare 6 bolt block, all i have is a block, crank, and a rear main seal. i know i need a 6 bolt oil/water pump but what else do i need? pulleys, tensioner, ext.. also i have a 7 bolt that is still in the car what off it can i use? i know i have to use the 7 bolt motor mounts but i think that is all i can use. what would help more is a pics of a long block (6 bolt timing components) before it gets installed in a 2g...
 
You need a lot if you dont have internals or a head to go with it
Connecting rods- 6 bolt
Pistons- 6 or 7 bolt
Main and rod bearings- 6 bolt
Oil pick up
Oil Squirters
6 Bolt oil and water pump
Timing Belt
6 or 7 bolt head with components(cams,lifters,rockers,valves,springs)
1g CAS black top preferably
Just a short list, but theres other odds and ends. Do a quick search and Im sure you can find everything.

Sorry, the block I have is a non turbo block and it has the main caps and I have je pistons and eagle rods so I don't need the oil squirters. And as far as the head I have a 2g ported head. And I have a 1g cas that I plan on using.
 
There is at least 4 perfect condition cranks on this site, and as long as they don't need cutting, and such you should be okay.

It's alright to run a bit on the looser side of tolerances on the oil clearance side rod bearing wise, just not on the knifes edge.

As for a block, its the core component you build around, so buying a turbo block first and then jumping in would have been what you would have wanted you to do, but hey! At least you have a block.

Best thing to remember is you will need all the 6 bolt components, since you have rods/pistons already you aren't too far off.

i got all the big parts LOL, pistons, rods, crank, water/oil pump, even a kiggly main girdle. i mainly need the small parts like the timing set up. im trying to find out what is the same off the 7 bolt so i can use it on my 6 bolt..
 
Just checking it says your car is n/a meaning you have a 420a? Good luck getting the 4g63 in there. ;)
 
Just order a 6bolt timing kit from extreme psi. And trim the 7 bolt motor mount and your ready to roll.
