Hey i'm new to the DSM Graveyard so i have some questions..

First of all i was looking and saw the Custom Build Frankenstein, i have been saving up some money to get a 6 bolt but this looked pretty good. it even has warranty.

so my question.

is it worth it? has any of you done this?

should i go with this or just stick to the 6 bolt?

any comments would be appreciated.

sorry to bring up an old thread but I was wondering where exactly you found these "drop in" 6 bolts? I've been looking for something like this for a while to avoid the random misfire and the hassle of cutting and splicing wires and the only thing I've found is the motor from karking...but thats over 2 grand, which is WAY to much for a stock longblock. Are these motors in decent condition and could you post a link?

eBay Store - Kar King Auto: engine, transmission, rebuilt That is the E bay store for Kar King

He does not have any of the 6 bolts swaps on there today, but I see them every couple of weeks.
 
here is another option, six bolt built bottom end that is drop in replacement for your 7 bolt.

This is a 4G63 turbo short block. Manley rods, Manley pistons, new main and rod bearings, new oil pump, new water pump. This is our custom 6 bolt built for the 2G talons and eclipse turbo's. The block has been redrilled to accept the 7 bolt oil pump. Oil pump has been modified to fit on the 6 bolt block. This allows you to run all your stock sensors, no cutting of wires, direct bolt in. You would not have to worry about any mifire issues, when the 6 bolt is installed into a 2G. The engine also has the balance shafts eliminated. Comes with the 2G motormount installed on the engine, since there is some customizing that needed to be done. All you would have to do is bolt you head and all accessories and your ready to go. Also, all engines are bored to .20 over and blocks have been decked. We never use any cut cranks. Any futher questions, please feel free to contact me at 419-578-4658 Thanks Bill @ showdown motorsports. We do require that you ship us some of your old parts.
