So y'all here is my situation.I threw a rod on my 90 gsx,so i bought a n/t 4g63 block with brand new turbo 2g pistons,1g big rods,and new crank.I have my 6 bolt head going to the machine shop tomorrow,and then being mounted on the n/t block after that with all new gaskets and arp studs.I am going to try to swap my 6 bolt 90 oil filter housing/cooler on the block,if not i have 1 n/t oil filter housing and another turbo one from a 7 bolt.Is there going to be an issue mounting a n/t block in my 90 5sp gsx?Im wondering specifically about flywheel,motor mounts and anything else that might possibly come up for that matter.I have my 90 6bolt motor mounts and a 7bolt and 6bolt flywheel.The block is supposed to be a 7bolt n/t that i am using,if that helps.Any help would be mucho appreciated.
 
I believe that most of this was covered in the last thead. No need for a new one. No the 6 bolt filter housing will not work on the 7 bolt. You need a 7 bolt awd flywheel, if it is a 1g 7 bolt than all the mounts will bolt on from your old engine, and everything will bolt together as the old one came out.
 
Yeah youre right there was alot of the same stuff on the last thread,I'm just still having issues.I guess the flywheel situation is the main issue im having.I have a 6 bolt awd flywheel and a 7bolt fwd flywheel wouldnt one of the two work? If not does anyone have any idea how much they are and the best place to find one? I have a really tight budget at the moment so i dont know what to do.
 
IT has to be the right flyhweel. Awd and fwd are a different diameter. Also the 6 bolt flywheel will not bolt to a 7 bolt crank. Check ebay, craigslist, the classifieds here, dsmsource, dsmtalk.
