not hard to find it.. I've just been scared out of it..

alot of ppl get a miss that needs to be sorted out by AEM, DSMlink and its actually more complicated then you think... lets not forget the grossly low compression..

I have been around a long time and I have seen more cars have it then not having it. Aaron's black GST at the brother's house has it. George *aka* 44PIRATE had it. He went DSMlink to get rid of it. I could go on and on. Its not a simple swap by any means. You need alot of parts that arent interchangable and they are getting hard to come by.

In spoolinspyder's case, he really doesnt need to worry about doing a 6bolt swap because he is auto. The crank doesnt feel the heavy PP as a 5 speed does. Also, swapping a 6bolt into an auto is another chore in itself, and I dont really feel like getting into it. Whoever did his swap obviously didnt know what they were doing and now his tranny is having serious problems. Just make it simple and keep a 7bolt in a 7bolt car.

7 bolt... 6 bolt swaps were in yrs. ago. Now it just turned into a fading fad.
