^Though the car has still has no power past 1st gear 
If you have the money to rebuild your GE the right way and then start building a gte in parallel, go that route. Or else I would advise agains rebuilding the GE, you'll regret the money spent later (could have invested in a nice gte) I know I regret...

7M-GTE will make plenty of power for drifting. Although you need to be thinking about suspension and sway bars to get the body roll down lol.
Do a good Headgasket job even if you don't do a metal Headgasket you can do a Felpro/ARP Stud job and be really reliable. Just take care of the car do regular maintenance.
And the most important is making sure Stage 0 is done be for modding the crap out of the car and turning up the boost.
I like to think the 7M can be just as good of a motor as a JZ if taken care of.

These cars can be a Money Pit bar none, if you don't have a huge budget it's better to stay small and enjoy the car for what it is instead of getting into a bankbuster build and looking at it on stands for the next 5 years
And ge's are practically given away. So if you blow one up there is another someone is waiting to toss that you could prolly have for free.
MA70 Ed you have a dealer installed sunroof? 89?
