what type of engine did you find pete? price and mileage?

Also you said there is a chance it hydrolocked I would take apart block and check internals for water residue I doubt you are locked, but water residue can be causing an issue.

What exactly is wrong with the motor?

When you say motor swap...do you mean to maybe a DOHC 4G63?

he told me he got a 1g motor so its dohc, but he neglected to say if it was n/a or turbo. if its n/a its still an upgrade from the 8v head, but i do wanna know what happened to the engine that its blown.

He thinks he may have hydrolocked as it happened on a wet night. I think I was the first person he texted and I have been trying to help him diagnose. You know if the 1G GSX has the same tranny bell housing like would a fwd eclipse tranny bolt up? Cause I found one locally for 700 rebuilt. Either way I believe he got it from a GST or at least that is what my text from him says.

i believe a few pins are off and should be swapped just like us 7gers do to use the 2g ecu

But that's a 7g trying to use a 2g ecu, 6th gens should be able to use a 1g NA ecu with no problem. If VR4 and turbo 1Gs are interchangeable I don't see why the N/A cars would be any different.
