They will not have a problem either, as long as the car was run once in a while, as he referred to earlier.

Upgraded radiator is good to have, but the AST upgrade is more important.

No need to change from non-sequential, just reploace the vacuum lines with silicon lines.


I was wondering when someone was going to come in and set it straight. I thought i was going to have to elaborate haha. No offense "Mike"



But again Sunny, those old coolant and oil seals can give out, even if the car was driven regularly. Rubber only can resist extreme heat for so long. If the previous owner didn't provide documentation, then there is no idea how long that engine has been in that car or if it's been rebuilt. Good Luck on your FD journey.
