doesw not foul on crossmember. well mine didnt.
as per other ques i cant answer i used std bottom end haha
good old 7age thread --->
after reading the entire thread agian.
i just want to re-confirm that for a basic 7age . with no intentions to rev it beyond 7500rpm ... i can get away with the following setup
-4age smallport head
-4age smallport pistons
-7afe rods
-7a block
-4age oil pump
-4age 100kw ecu to run it ...
-4age crank pulley along with timing belt part number is bt111 for a peugeot
-4AC flywheel
what head gaskt do i use??
do i haveto modified engine mounts, or x member.??
is it true that the sump fouls on the x member.??
it has been said that it can be done but will i need to and how hard is it to modified the rods to take one of the 4a bolts, to stop the bolts from stripping at high revs ?
this motor only need to last me 2years... motor wil be used for daily driving and weekend track thrasher... so i want to use minimal money for a good power gain over a mildly worked 4age.

wides13 thanks for that ..i was just reading your memebr thread on the old forum ... so any updates on the motor ?
one question .. what did you do for the exhuast manifold...does the 4age one fit ?
yeah it fits. just lifted it up 10mm or so. fit though.
well im trying to fix a plroblem but i beleive its nothing related to the 7age as it happend to a previous motor.
till its fixed i cant dyno it.

it has been said that it can be done but will i need to and how hard is it to modified the rods to take one of the 4a bolts, to stop the bolts from stripping at high revs ? I don't think there's any definitive information on the web about what works and what doesn't, but just remember to keep in mind that the rods are very skinny, and aftermarket replacements (that use well-sized ARP bolts) are available for $500
70XIN- just had another read and your right .
am i missing anything else .. or is it bolt it all up and drive away ?
for $500 bucks it.. i guess its good insurance .... are "spool" rods any good ?
i used a porsche timing belt on the 7a we did ?
all we used was
stock 7a bottom
small port head
and then added a turbo
the porsche belt has flatter teeth as the peogeot has the same teeth as the 4age.
after spending 2hours looking through a book lols
can you put a photo up of the porsche belt so people see what i mean?
this is a peogeot one![]()
