Need feedback on 2g GST engine

[baddestmonkey]

I currently have a '97 Eclipse GST Spyder with a crackwalked engine. I have 3 options that I want feedback on. 1) Rebuilt the current 7 bolt 4g63t engine in the car. 2) Replace the current engine with the same. 3) Purchase a 6 bolt 4g63t engine and do a complete 6 bolt swap. I have pros and cons with all of the options. I am trying to keep this under $3000. Any feedback would be badass.

If you have a good seven bolt block, just do what I did and builda stroker. I did it for under 3 grand so far everything seems fine with it. I built it in my garage and did all the work myself. If you dont have a good seven bolt then just do a six bolt swap. Whatever you do dont try to rebuild the crankwalked engine.

I would also recommend not rebuilding the walked block. Either way 6 or 7 you'll need a new block. You mind as a well find a six since they are not known for the walking. If u need any I have like 3
Good luck.

ok guys , i found stroker at SBR good for 800Whp $3500 ... they make them 7bolt too
but if i want to go stroker + to be 6 bolt i need $1300 so everything comes up
to be about $5000
do you know how can i get that stroker and go at least under $ 4000

Go with 6-bolt engine swap you will be able to put out more power then the 7-bolt
