So I am getting a really good deal on my buddies 2.3l from his talon, and I'm wondering will the 6bolt trans bolt up to this 2g 7bolt and will I have to use a 1g awd 7bolt clutch and flywheel. Thank you.

Is the 7 bolt block a 2g or a 1g block.
2g 7 bolts have only one mount on the engine and that the driver side mount. the other three are on the tranny.
Unlike 1g and gvr4`s where they have the front rear mount on the block not the tranny.

the 7bolt is from a 2g 1995 Talon Tsi FWD.

I think you will have a problem getting that bolted in seeing as in a 2g 3 of the mounts are on the tranny, not the block.

there are still the holes on the 7-bolt block (before they swapped sides in the engine bay) for the 6-bolt mounts to attach to. You may need to tap the treads though. You would just use the 7-bolt block with 6-bolt mounts, 7-bolt flywheel/clutch and 6-bolt transmission.

^ I was thinking this, because those are same mounting points for use in RWD applications /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif, also probably need to tap the subframe/radiator support? for the front and rear mounts to bolt onto the car as well.

Thank you very much for the info, If i use the 7bolt clutch/flywheel would i need a 1g 7bolt or 2g 7bolt AWD flywheel with the 6bolt trans.

No the RWD mounts are about 2-3" further down from the transverse mounts, roughly in the middle of the block while the transverse mounts are not far from the bellhousing.
If you are bolting the 6-bolt VR-4 specific mount brackets to the 7-bolt block, why would you have a need to tap the subframe and radiator support? Mounting brackets will be in the same position.

I would say a 1G AWD so long as it's the same 225mm diameter clutch. Check the starter motor engages properly with the flywheel too.

lol, I was pretty tired when I wrote that haha, yeah that makes no sense. I guess I somehow I crossed 7 bolt into 1g with 6 bolt into 2g. Oops /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I did a 2G stroker block/engine into a 93 DSM a few years back, so don't quote me directly. But I think you will have to fab up a mount/relocation from two other holes closer to the front (d/s) of the block. The front mount isn't useable because of the extra casting for the extra engine/trans mounting bolt there.
I don't think the rear mount was hard. But I had to make a plate about 6-8" wide to line the 1G mount two two holes in the block behind the turbine housing. Then it was welded to the mount. Held up fine, car wasn't driven nicely.
