Re: worth keeping a 7 bolt?

correct. the 7 bolt 4g64 blocks are everywhere in the junk yard and I have a 1g 7 bolt 4g63 block out of a n/a block.

Or I could keep it a 2.0L because the cranks are the same from the turbo motors. All I would have to do is change pistons. Actually I have a set of rods and 8.5 pistons out of a 2g motor. Still need the oil squirters though.

I ask this because after reading jacks transmissions i found this on there website

"The only fear people have of the 7-bolt is crank walk. We believe the 7-bolt is a superior engine to the 6 as the 7 has a far stronger crank, better compression ratio, nice strong girdle, helix angle in oil pump (for a quieter engine) and lighter rotating assembly. Buying a 7-bolt from us will eliminate the crank walk problem, so why not go with the better engine."

However I don't know how much difference there is between a 2g 7bolt block and a 1g 7bolt block

Any opinions on this?
