im getting a new motor put in..but should i have a 6 bolt or 7 bolt put in...the 6 bolt will end up bein about 2000 dollars(everything i need to get it to work in my car) and the 7 bolt will be about 1400. which should i do? i will have my current setup on there...16g, cams, injectors, just the new motor. btw the reason for the new motor is mine blew up last night. :cry:
 
my honest opinion is to go with the 6bolt, im sure everyone else will say the same.

Couple questions to ask yourself:

Would you rather have $600 or a good peice of mind?

How much horsepower do you want?


If your answer is $600 and not a lot of horsepower, have em install the 7 bolt.

:dsm:
 
The way I see it, if you want a 6 bolt, do it. If you want a 7 bolt, do it! If you can't decide, get a 4G64 conversion!! Woohoo!

Seriously though, the 6 bolt is a wise investment if you'll keep it a long time (or forever). A 7 bolt is fine if you have no intention of keeping it for more than a year or so.
