7 bolt swap

[SnowWhite]

I have decided to replace my 7 bolt with a newer one and I have found one with 60k and one with 80k. I am going to ask both people give me some details, but I want to talk about when I get it. I have a second car so time is not an issue. I don't have the money, but I can save up at my current job. The actual engine will cost about 600 after shipping and everything. My question is...what else should I do to it when it is on the engine stand. I want to keep the total cost of the engine to about 800-900 dollars. Any suggestions?

where are you getting complete 7 bolts with that mileage for that price? I would just replace seals and the timing belt and leave it at that. If you could tell me where to find low mileage 7 bolts I would appreciate it. I decided to give up on my car and change it back to stock so I can sell it, so I need to get a 7 bolt from somewhere. ( complete longblock ) Thanks.

Classifieds around my area. We have a couple performance shops around that are known for doing 6 bolt swaps and they have a few 7 bolts around the area.

I also check the classifieds in DSMtrader quite often and you can catch one in there once in a while.
