That's pretty much the only reasons. The Supra 30-60 has larger clutches and steels as well. I'd only recommend it if your towing a lot or have a high HP stroker motor.

You know I always wondered why they call it New Mexico. Never knew there was anything wrong with the old one. Lol. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

It's cracked the head in-between the intake and exhaust valves. So about 200 bucks later, and 5 days later its running again. Need to drain oil and run water for a bit to see what it does or gives any surprises. This is one things that I'd rather pull the motor out then do it in the vehicle.

No I got one from u pull. The motor and head were from there in the beginning had them hot tank, flux, pressure test and surface. It lasted almost 6 months I don't know why it failed. I took it to knightons, I've had good luck with them especially with turn arounds. Dropped it off Tuesday at 10 and about 2 it was done. 88 bucks isn't too bad.

Wow that's way cheaper than what I was getting quoted. I'm thinking of doing it this weekend, since my new radiator and manifold came in.

the head from u pull was like 40 the machine work was 88 so about 130 give or take. There was another head off a 95 that had 127k on it. The head I got was off a 98 but I didn't get the mileage. It was dirty like the intake was just sucking oil but everything was tested fine with a pressure test.

The 7120 and the 0630 are pretty much matched the same only difference is the plug for the coolant sensor gauge side. Let me know if you need some help, putting the head on is a pain on the *** unless in on a engine stand then its easy.

Goodies that I've added over the last week or so. Factory fog lights with switch panel, cruise control, gentex mirror with compass temp and auto dim, autopal
with previously installed harness, and headliner with sound bar with vanity mirrors and map lights. Also have another cluster to swap then mileage gets highter so ill have a tach and gauges instead on lights if you didn't notice.

Damn, I was hoping to hear it was crazy easy. YouTube lied! I may have to pick your brain one of these days. I really want her back up for the winter.

Actually doing it is easy, its just setting the head on is a pain. I didnt have any dowel pins on my block so that what make it really hard as the gasket wanted to slide around. And I also installed it with the intake and exhaust too since I its easier to do them off the jeep where you can get to the bolts easy, but it adds more weight to a 60 pound head and then the reach over the fenders and grille.
