word up on that.

but i actually bought a jdm 7mgte. it was in great shape, but i tore it down to bare block are rebuilt everything anyway. since yours already has low miles on it. i'd stick with that motor and just get it fixed along with ARP fasteners and a MHG..

WHERE ARE THE PICS?!?!?!??!?!?!???!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
