    Thumbs down Don't Think This Is Gonna Work...You Tell Me.

    Little back story on the car... It's a friend of mine who said "he do you think you can finish up this swap for me? The motors already in the car, just need a couple things put back together on it". I figured it was no problem, just gotta pop some axles in, wire it up, etc and it's done...

    Come to findout this guy knows absolutely nothing about what he's dealing with here. He's already had it sitting at another shop for 7months and it's still not done so he brought it to me. Anyways here's my newest issue.

    He says he's going from 7bolt to 6bolt, which is easy stuff I've done it in the past but something seemed a bit weird to me on this. It seems like he brought me a 1g NA 4G63 (I have no experience with) and in my opinion I don't think I can make it work with mostly 2g 7bolt parts. The issue I just ran into is with the coolant tube running across the front of the motor. Runs coolant from the waterpump to the thermostat housing and all that. Well on this head it only has the 3 bolt housing and no 1" coolant tube opening for it to go into. Am I crazy here? What do I need to tell this guy? What other issues do you imagine me running into with this situation?

    Also are the oil filter housings interchangable? Because the turbo style one doesn't seem to line-up with the holes on the block and the coolant line is hitting the block.

    Thank you, very much appreciated.
    I'll try to include as many pictures as possible.

    your best bet is to use the NA oil filter housing, and get an aftermarket, or a 1990 Turbo Air cooled Oil cooler.
