i got mine from these guys
http://myworld.ebay.com/japaneseengineimport/
was $1100 shipped and it arrived in 3 days
it came with ac, alternator, starter and even an atx, lol
i haven't put it in yet, so i can't say how good it is, but it looks in great shape from the outside
ahhh nice one man
hey guys just wanted to say my engine came in yesterday. Im going to try to make this thread a step by step process for my conversion. wont be going in till mid January thou, seeing as that's when i can get accesses to my tech schools shop.
Hows the swap going?
well i finished it, and i gotta say im loving life right now. a 74 with a few mods has some balls to it compared to the 72. oh and you gotta love the torque it defiantly puts you back in your seat. on a side note i decided not to do a write up because literally you drop it in add a spacer to the downpipe and go.Quote:

i'm unsure about the headers. i want to get obx headers and wonder if maybe some montero or diamante headers might work without having to use spacers
what i have so far:
60k kit
poly motor mounts
tt fuel pump
what i still need/want:
headers
hi flow cat
lightweight flywheel
new clutch set
underdrive pulley
fuel pump rewire kit
i'm hoping to do all maintenance and upgrades before dropping it in. i don't plan on taking it out for a while.
i'm also doing an mtx conversion at the same time, lol, so i've got my work cut out for me
already have everything i could possibly need for that swap
I have forged 4340 H-beam rods available for the 6g74 engine for anyone wanting to upgrade the internals.
ya just check out my sig...Nothing to major just the usual. however sometime this year i would love to pick up some 3sx cam gears and cams, i feel they'd really give the engine something special. hey man good job on not just rushing into this and throwing it on the car without doing the 60k/120k. the stock fuel system i found ran pretty well with the 74 but if you have the tt pump i say go for it cant hurt right :D.....Your gonna love it when your done!!
mine NEEDED another fuel pump, although i went SOHC 12v > DOHC 24v so the SOHC pump might of been alot weaker. (ran out of puff in the 130kw region and needed another one to go 140kw's++)
I have the cam gears on and besides cams, which are going in soon, are a fantastic modification to do.
Make sure you 100% do the 60k.
Can't wait to do this and the shift kit.Quote:
