2G Who has built early 7 bolt?

[SNAKE_15]

Quarter for school is about to end so I'll finally have time to work on my dsm. Unfortunately, I haven't found a revised 7 bolt block so I'm left with no choice but to build my early 7 bolt. I know the whole hoax about crankwalk and how people exaggerate the likelihood of happening. Would a built early 7 bolt last me with new forged pistons/rods ,acl bearings, arp studs, and mls headgasket? My 7 bolt has 88k original miles and had a solid 180 compression across the board. My head is already built which includes kiggley racing springs retainers, supertech valves, stem seals, guides, and kelford 272 cams. I will be running 93 octane in the meantime and a Fp Black. Sticking with a 2.0 motor.

People have been doing it for 20+ years. You are fine.

Lolz my 95 has survived quite a bit of abuse including a track day, you will be fine. Although @yukiz has been trying to tell me my motor is going to walk for the last 2 years

@DSMDEMON93 was beating the hell out of his, racing GTRs on his 95 block until he threw a rod I think it was

I would check specs on crank play. If its good then it should make no difference building a revised block or your early 7 bolt block. The block is what goes bad when there is crank walk.

Built lots of early 7 bolts; no issues!
