man the 7m gte is an absolute monster of an engine very raw power, scraped knuckles, dirty oily smelling type of beast I know I know i got a 1J but that was for ease of install and peace of mind
ohh yeah if your deticated you can quite safly pull 450bhp
man i've copped 2 head gaskets on the 7m's, so not saying it will happen just maybe buget for it..ok
oh btw grab some magazines and research you will save your self alot of money the guys are quoating 3500 to 2500 i got my dam chaser cut (1J) for 2200 so look around.... i'd sugest our club sponsors sss automotive or asian auto imports
good luck and don't rush the thing plan it well before you even get close to buying the engine ok- it will save you many head aches..
