er well thumbs up to you push for trying something new, its bout time that someone did something rather than just swap another 7m in or a 1j or 2j swap. i give you props for trying and showing that you are willing to do it even if it is for fun. i'd do it to if it was a free engine. get some more pictures posted up and a video that you promised of it running. also dont take crap from anyone, its your car and even though this might look to be a wrong direction its the one you are willing to give a chance. do what you want to it and see how it works, and in the end it will always become an experience and you can say i have done this... so does this mean it would be a bad idea to replace my 305 to a 7mgte in my 79 camaro? what now its my car i do what i want, and i will be the first to do it.
