Also plan on doing a GT35R down the line. What manifold are you going to use? Any ebay one?
originally I was gonna get a running 7mgte with a 57 trim upgrade to drive around on for a while, so I can attend the may 10th Indianapolis meet. While driving on that motor, I was gonna have my spare motor rebuild with some forged internals, new gaskets, bolts, etc. and planned on getting a PowerTrip Performance modified oil pan and ram horn turbo manifold with the gt35r.
But since the guy I was gonna get my temporary running 7mgte from pulled out because he wasn't going to have enough cash to swap in a 2jz, so I'm stuck looking for a different motor. I found one down in Ky that has 225 miles that'd been rebuilt with forged internals and had some other stuff done, but is gonna cost me 1800 bones, plus gas to get there and back, cherry picker rental, and an extra 400 for all extra stuff I need to complete the long block. So just for that I'd need at least $2400 not to mention money for other stuff JUST to get the car running...here's some pictures of the motor:
...plus to top it off, I still have to pay a prompt med bill, cable bill, garage rental, and a speeding ticket....all this with no overtime due to sucky economy and not being able to sell many trucks. I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point as I'm sure I won't make the Indy meet and the ohio meet is iffy.
