That pump mod sounds really interesting. Also, the gasket pic is super helpful. Thanks OST.

Re: 7AG Block, Is there a best?

The oil pump alignment issue is worthy to note. Any block ribbing variations like you see in the 4A?

Hello, I am looking to revive my 20V AE86 and I am considering a 7A build. I was wondering if there was a better model to source from.

Re: Cross Plane 4AGE

This is an incredible idea. From a tuner’s perspective, as long as I could set base timing, firing order, and base firing event in degrees of crank rotation I don’t believe there would be an issue running a COP setup for this cross-plane engine.
