Okay, I've been reading threads for a while today while at work and now that I'm home and none of them just seem to quite answer my questions.
Goal : I am planning on sticking with a 7 bolt for my first 7 bolt build. All I've owned before now were 6 bolt powered cars and the swap is pretty straight forward. From my understanding this should be as well - save for I don't plan on swapping in a full longblock. I am picking up a Revised 7 bolt block and will build it in hopes of pulling my engine, dropping my head from my 95 7 bolt on, and then drop this combo into the car, hook everything up, and go.
Concerns :
1 : My 7 bolt does not have a CAS, period. If I perform this swap, do I retain my original Crank and Cam sensors? Will the crank sensor have a placement on the Revised 7 bolt block? Will I need to rewire anything or will it be a direct bolt on and drop in?
2 : Should I run into any odd circumstances with mounts, head ports/holes/alignments not matching up due to year specific differences? (Being an early 2G head on a late 2G block.)
This is the brunt of my concern. Everything else, of course, will be year specific such as timing components, water/oil pumps, etc. I just don't want to go diving into this and find out that I have to rewire in a CAS, the plugs for a different knock sensor, etc. I'm very 7-bolt illiterate, so I felt that this is very Newbie Section deserving.
Thank you for the time.
