I bought the car about 6 months ago for the 6 bolt to swap into my 98 GSX. Payed $800 for the whole car. Which I figured was a good deal considering it came with a freshly rebuilt head that the kid had a receipt for $703.75 and also came with an ebay jdm fmic and piping. Was planning on just parting the car out cause I wasn't really looking for another project! When I picked the car up and seen how clean it was I realized it would be a shame to part it out. Since I have been reading these motors can hold some impressive power with stock internals. My plan is to rering the pistons and new main and rod bearings and of course the neccesary machine work to get this thing going again! Unless someone can point out another option for a budget rebuild? Ive heard alot of good things about John Gosh as an excellent machinist! The only number I could find on here for him is 763-213-2605 just seeing if anyone knows if this is still current? Thanks for any help..sorry for such a long post! Here is a link for pictures of the car and pictures of the motor tear down.
