    im pretty sure i bought the motor the op is talking about. got it for 150 out of a 2001 gt near irwin. tore it down to find that 7 of 8 rod bearings were spun. but the motor "didnt knock or tick before it was pulled"

    and here is a good pi headswap article http://forums.modulardepot.com/showt...headswap+write
