Like I've mentioned before my car is almost at 400,000 kms, and uses about a litre of oil per tank. I had plans to do the 6m swap but in the newest buy and sell thre was an ad selling a 7m-ge (non turbo) and transmission for $350cdn. he says it has 170,000 kms on it and needs bottom end berrings, and theres a new clutch between the two. he says hes flexible on the price... Should this be an option to me?

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm glad to have advice from people who know what they're talking about and I really appreciate it.

Send pm to jefe_not on this forum. Jeff can tell you his 7m-ge saga. Its a whole lot more work than a 6m for similar performance because the wiring is different and the accessories are arranged differently on the front of the motor making for a lot of customization. The 6m on the other hand is virtually plug-n-play. If you can find one, I'd get the 6m. Good luck.
