6Bolt or 7Bolt

[blageo23]

What do you think would be better for me? I cant deside for myself. As some of you know I rebuilt a 6Bolt and put it in my 2G(1998 GST Spyder), 500 miles later i believe the oil pump siezed up and the motor is now SHOT. Now I could get another 6Bolt from LSE for about 1800 or I could take the 7Bolt thats in my garage and get timing belt stuff and a flywheel and run that until it crankwalks if it does. Right now I have $0 and I work little and go to school. My mom knows the loan guy and he said he could tack on another $1000 and just give it to me. What would you guys do? go and spend the money for a 6Bolt or just wait til the 7Bolt crankwalks(if it does). Thanks for the POSITIVE advice in advance.

You have PLENTY of time to work on the perfect 6 bolt. Use the cash to get your car running and build a 6 bolt if you want over time. Get another core and just build it as a spare.

But all I would want for now and for the future is a stock rebuilt 6Bolt. Nothing to big.

It sounds like you can get the 7 bolt running for just a few hundred in parts. Opposed to spending more than you would have for a standard rebuilt 6 bolt. Maybe over the next year or 2 you can take the money you saved by not doing the 6 bolt now, add in a small amount you can try and save each month and have a moderatly built 6 bolt.

Is that in the new 2008 eclipse? haha JK, thanks for the info guys. I just wanna see what a few more people have to say before I make a final choice.

Do you have another vehicle to drive?

[blageo23]

For the winter yes. But my parents are bugging the shit out of me to get that thing finished and out of the garage so they can park in there. Its been in there since oct last year and driven like 10 times since.

If you want to get it running now and build up later, I would just throw in a 7 bolt until you have enough to build a race motor.

Go with the 7-bolt for now.
