OK, after blowing up my 1g 7 bolt, and attempting to rebuild it and it's taking longer then i thought it would, I found a 7 bolt on here with 87,000 miles for $300. he said the motor is good, but the head was taken off, I get the head with it though. should i go with that motor instead of a 6 bolt? I can't afford 1200 for a motor... Let me know what you think... and should I install a new thrust bearing before putting the motor in, and can i change the bearing easily? ANY INPUT APPRECIATED.

what are your goals for the car?

You can always check the thrust bearing for potential crank walk issues, you dont have to replace it if its not broken.

If you title your thread choices, choices, choices you are less likely to get a response than if the title has a subject...7 bolt vs 6 bolt options, 7 bolt concerns, etc.

Hes right.

If the head was good, and the bottom end is ok, then why are they taken apart?

i blew my motor up. but the one im getting he said that they guy paid for it and said he had a car and couldn't fit the whole motor in, so he took the head off for the guy, and the guy found one closer to home and didn't want it...

i labeled it choices choice choices becaues i labeled one 7bolt, replace with 7bolt? and got no replies. i have had many threads that never got a responce with well defined titles, so i figured that title would peak interest and someone would want to read it.

my goals for the car are to get it running first. then add cams, exhaust and intake. I want to get 300 hp out of it eventually... any thoughts on how to get there?
